TARTAR from teeth - Causes, prevention and how to REMOVE dental PLAQUE and calculus | Dentalk! ©
Dental tartar is a very widespread oral problem. Here we talk about the causes, consequences and treatment of tartar on the teeth.
0) Introduction: 00:00
We talk about dental tartar: why it forms, what consequences it has and how to eliminate it in this Dentalk from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas).
1) What is dental tartar? 00:36
Dental tartar is a calcification of bacterial dental plaque that accumulates around the teeth.
1a) What is dental plaque? 00:45
Dental plaque or biofilm is a sticky, whitish substance that adheres to the surface of the teeth. This plaque can be easily removed by brushing, but if not done correctly, it can calcify and give rise to tartar.
1b) Why is tartar formed? 01:04
Dental calculus is formed by the precipitation of minerals present in saliva, such as calcium and phosphorus. This may be due to poor or deficient dental hygiene, the composition of saliva, certain types of diets or lifestyle habits.
2) What types of tartar exist? 02:26
According to its location, we distinguish two types: supragingival and subgingival. The supragingival is located above the gum and is visible to the naked eye. It is less damaging and easier to remove. Subgingival tartar is located at the root of the tooth below the gum and is not visible. This is one of the causes of periodontal disease.
3) What problems can dental tartar cause?: 03:00
Dental plaque and tartar accumulate millions of bacteria that can cause cavities, periodontal disease, halitosis, some systemic diseases and aesthetic problems.
4) How to remove tartar: 04:08
As the stone is a compact mineralized structure, it is not removed by simple brushing, and depending on the depth at which it is found, the treatment will vary.
4a) Periodontal prophylaxis: 04:18
This common type of cleaning is sufficient to remove supragingival calculus. This periodontal prophylaxis includes instruments such as ultrasound and curettes.
4b) Scaling and root planing: 04:35
It is used to remove subgingival calculus that is not too deep. It is performed with local anesthesia, using instruments called curettes that are inserted through the gum to reach the tartar that is attached to the surface of the roots.
4c) Periodontal surgery: 05:03
It is used to remove the deepest subgingival tartar. This treatment consists of making incisions in the gum to separate it and to be able to correctly access the entire contour of the root. In this way, tartar can be removed, the surface of the roots polished to prevent tartar build-up again, the affected gum tissue removed, the bone recontoured around the tooth if necessary and finally the gingiva sutured.
5) How to prevent scale formation: 05:55
It is very important that in addition to brushing after each meal, dental floss or floss and/or interproximal brushes are used when necessary. We must also not forget to clean the tongue correctly. It is also advisable to go to the dentist at least twice a year and carry out the professional dental prophylaxis that he recommends.
