Frequently Asked Tartar Teeth Questions
Find answers to common questions about tartar on teeth, professional cleaning, and how to prevent build-up for you and your family in Abu Dhabi.
What is tartar on teeth?
Tartar, also called calculus, is hardened plaque that forms when soft plaque is not removed effectively by brushing and flossing. Once tartar forms, it attaches firmly to the teeth and cannot be removed at home with normal brushing. It tends to collect around the gumline and between teeth, making it harder to keep gums healthy. Professional dental cleaning is needed to remove it safely.
Why is tartar on teeth a problem?
Tartar creates rough surfaces that attract more plaque and bacteria, which can irritate the gums and lead to gingivitis or more advanced gum disease. It also makes it harder to clean your teeth properly at home. Over time, this can contribute to bleeding gums, bad breath, and potential bone loss around teeth. Managing tartar early helps protect both teeth and gums.
Can I remove tartar at home by brushing harder?
Once plaque has hardened into tartar, it cannot be removed by brushing harder or using regular toothpaste. Brushing too hard can actually wear down enamel and irritate the gums. Tartar needs to be removed using special dental instruments by a trained professional. At home, your focus should be on preventing new tartar by cleaning thoroughly but gently.
How is tartar removed at City Smile Dental Center?
Our dentists or hygienists use professional scaling instruments or ultrasonic devices to gently remove tartar from the teeth and along the gumline. You may feel light vibration or scraping, but we work carefully to keep you as comfortable as possible. After scaling, the teeth are usually polished to smooth the surfaces. Throughout the procedure, we explain each step so you know what to expect.
How often should I have tartar removed?
Many patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months, which is often enough to keep tartar under control. However, some people build tartar more quickly due to their natural oral environment, brushing habits, or medical conditions. In these cases, we may suggest more frequent visits, such as every three to four months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your individual gum and tartar levels.
Is tartar removal painful?
Most patients find tartar removal to be comfortable, with only mild sensations of pressure or vibration. If your gums are inflamed or you have sensitive teeth, you might feel some temporary discomfort. We can adjust our technique, work slowly, or use local anaesthetic in specific areas if needed. Our team prioritises gentle care and will check in with you regularly throughout the procedure.
Can children develop tartar on their teeth?
Yes, children can develop tartar if plaque is not cleaned away effectively, especially around the gumline and back teeth. Early tartar build-up can affect gum health and make brushing less effective. Regular check-ups and cleanings help identify and remove tartar in children. We also guide parents and children on brushing techniques to reduce future build-up.
What can I do to prevent tartar build-up between visits?
Effective daily plaque control is the best way to limit tartar formation. This includes brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth using floss or interdental brushes, and limiting frequent sugary snacks and drinks. An antibacterial mouthwash may also be recommended in some cases. Our team will advise you on the tools and techniques that suit your mouth best.
Does tartar cause bad breath?
Tartar can contribute to bad breath because it traps plaque and bacteria around the teeth and gums. These bacteria release gases that lead to an unpleasant smell. By removing tartar and improving daily cleaning, many patients notice fresher breath. If bad breath continues, we can check for other possible causes and suggest appropriate care.
Is tartar removal covered by insurance in Abu Dhabi?
Many dental insurance plans in the UAE include routine scaling and polishing as part of preventive care, but coverage can vary between providers. It is always best to check your specific plan details or speak with your insurer directly. Our reception team at City Smile Dental Center can help provide treatment codes and summaries to support your enquiry. We aim to make regular cleaning and tartar control as straightforward as possible for families.
