Dental calculus is hardened plaque.

Dental calculus is a highly hardened plaque that accumulates on the enamel surface. This seemingly harmless occurrence contains bacteria, epithelial cells, food residues, and calcium compounds.

According to international statistics, dental calculus of varying degrees is found in 70% of the world’s population, and the earlier dental calculus is detected, the easier it is to treat.

So, what are the main causes of dental calculus formation:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Bite misalignment
• Poor or improperly chosen toothbrush
• Excessive saliva production
• Uneven chewing, for example, predominantly using one side of the jaw

How can you get rid of dental calculus?

There are several methods to remove dental calculus:

1. Mechanical cleaning of dental calculus: In this method, a special tool is used to scrape off the calculus from the tooth’s surface.
2. Ultrasonic dental calculus removal: Dentists use a special scanner to identify dental deposits and remove not only visible but also hidden calculus under the gums.
3. Laser dental calculus removal: A laser is used to remove calculus layer by layer, breaking it into tiny particles.
4. Chemical cleaning: Special pastes and gels containing acids and alkalis are applied to the tooth’s surface. They act on the dental calculus, softening it, and then it is easily removed from the tooth.
