A radiant smile starts with healthy teeth and gums. But one of the biggest challenges for oral hygiene is tartar build-up. Not only does tartar increase the risk of gum disease, it can also affect the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. Fortunately, there are proven methods to reduce the formation of tartar and promote your oral health. We'll tell you what they are in today's article.

 

What exactly is tartar?

Tartar, also known as dental calculus, occurs when unremoved plaque mineralises. It can occur above and below the gum line and is often difficult to remove at home. For this reason, prevention is key.

 

Tips and techniques for reducing tartar

• Thorough daily oral hygiene: The basis of all good dental care is regular brushing and flossing. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day can reduce plaque before it can turn into tartar.

• Regular professional dental cleanings: You should have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. Your dentist can effectively remove existing tartar.

• Proper diet: Often underestimated, but very effective. A low-sugar diet helps to reduce the amount of plaque-forming bacteria in the mouth. Drink plenty of water and minimise the consumption of sugary snacks and drinks.

 

The role of our emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush

The ultrasonic toothbrush from emmi-dent is an effective tool in the fight against tartar. Thanks to our modern ultrasonic technology, it not only cleans superficially, but can also reduce plaque at a microscopic level - before it turns into tartar. The millions of air bubbles generated by the ultrasonic waves penetrate deep into the interdental spaces and along the gum line to effectively reduce bacteria and plaque. As a result, our emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush offers comprehensive cleaning that is very, very difficult to achieve with conventional toothbrushes.
