Introduction:

        Tartar is a layman's term for Calculus, which is a hard mineral deposit which accumulates around teeth if they are not cleaned properly over a period of time. This tartar is inhabited by many bacteria, most of which are harmful in nature. These bacteria secrete chemicals ( called "toxins" ) which are harmful for the teeth, gums and the bone which holds the teeth in place. These toxins damage the gums and erode the bone which holds the teeth in place, thus robbing the teeth of their support and thus the teeth become weak and mobile. If this condition is left unchecked, it can lead to loss of the tooth.
        Tartar removal is done by an Ultrasonic Scaler which produces high frequency ultrasonic vibrations which loosen the tartar deposits and dislodge them. Thus, the bacterial colonies are removed from the mouth, and the harmful toxins are no longer produced, thus arresting the harmful damage to the teeth.

Advantages:

• Gets rid of Bad Breath
• Tartar leads to weakening of bone support to tooth, so its removal strengthens the tooth
• Stops Periodontal disease in its tracks
