What is tartar, and why is it important to remove it?

Tartar forms from the hardening of plaque deposited on the teeth, which consists of bacteria, food residue and saliva. Once it has set, tartar can no longer be removed by brushing at home – this requires a professional, in-office procedure.

Tartar can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding gums, bad breath, and in the longer term to periodontal disease. Regular tartar removal is therefore not only an aesthetic matter, but plays a key role in preserving the health of the teeth and gums.

How does tartar removal work?

Ultrasonic tartar removal: with gentle ultrasonic vibration the tartar is carefully detached from the tooth surface and from below the gumline, without damaging the tooth enamel.
Polishing: at the end of the treatment the tooth surface is polished smooth, which makes it harder for new plaque to stick and gives a nicer, shinier surface.
Oral hygiene advice: we give personalised advice on correct home tooth care so you can keep the result until your next treatment.

Frequently asked questions about tartar removal

Does tartar removal hurt?

The treatment is generally painless. With more sensitive teeth or inflamed gums some mild sensitivity may occur, but our colleagues pay attention to this and work as gently as possible.

How often should I have tartar removal?

It is generally recommended every six months, but with heavy plaque build-up or gum problems more frequent treatment may be warranted.

Does ultrasonic tartar removal damage the enamel?

No. Properly performed ultrasonic removal breaks down the tartar and does not damage the intact tooth enamel.

Will my teeth be whiter after tartar removal?

The treatment removes plaque and surface discolouration, so the natural colour of the teeth returns. Lasting lightening of the teeth is provided by teeth whitening.
