Periodontics is the whole tissues of structure around teeth that includes gums, alveolar bones, and periodontal ligaments. Their functions is an important in supporting and holding the teeth firmly in the jaw bone. Periodontitis is the condition that these parts are inflamed or injured causing them to be unable to perform their duties in protecting the health of the teeth, resulting in the risk of tooth loss.
The main cause of periodontitis is bacteria present in dental plaque. When the oral hygiene is not properly cleaned, food plaques have accumulated either above or below the gum line and roots causing irritation to gingivitis, redness, lack of firmness, swelling, easy bleeding.
Illustration : Tooth tartar (Lime teeth, Dental Calculus) and after teeth cleaning
As the plaque moves to the stage of forming a strong plaque called tartar (a.k.a lime teeth, or dental calculus) on the teeth, the gums become more heavily inflamed and then develop into periodontitis.
After your meal about 15 minutes, It will be a thin film on the tooth surface. If this membrane is not cleaned, the bacteria will come and accumulate thicker and thicker, called plaque. Bacteria in plaque produce acids. These acids can destroy tooth enamel and cause cavities and gingivitis (gum disease).
There is a study that shows that about 70% of plaque weight is bacteria, it means 1mg plaque (the size of a toothpick) contains up to 1 billion bacteria.
When the plaque is soft, it can be cleaned from the tooth surface with a brush or dental floss. But when it has been for a long time, the plaque is calcified by the inorganic salt compound in the saliva and the soft residue becomes hard, it hold very firmly to the tooth surface or under the edge of the gums, called tartar (teeth lime). Until now, only the doctors can clean and remove it with specialized tools. Is called Scaling/clean dental plaque or Teeth cleaning/teeth scaling.

When you have tartar (as known as calculus or lime teeth), dentists usually advise you to scale and polish your teeth about every 6 months. For the patients with severe periodontal diseases, scaling may be performed every 3 months, depending on the dentist’s indication. If you brush your teeth correctly and regularly at the right time, it will be limited the ability to take shape the lime teeth then you may need to scale your teeth only once a year.
So, does scaling tartar or teeth cleaning affect your teeth? The answer is no and on the contrary, scaling tartar also helps to avoid oral diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically check your teeth and scale them every 6 months to detect early oral disease and ensure oral health.
For the people who scale tartar for the first time, they will feel their teeth on edge (painless). However, until the next time, that feeling will be gone.
In addition, bleeding can be seen. It is more or less depending on the condition of the lime teeth and the sensitivity of the individual. After that, drinking hot or cold water will make the tooth feel sensitive but it will go away in a few days.
It is still possible by hand strenght with available tools on the market, or with some descaling agents, however the experts recommend that we should not perform at home because of the dangerous risks.
Since hard the tartar adheres to the teeth, which makes it very difficult to perform, along with the fact that we ourselves scrape it at home, we will not be able to observe each niche in the tooth carefully to scrape it, which may cause damage to the teeth and gums, and you will also not be able to clear all of them.
Therefore, the best way to safely scrape tartar is to arrange your time to go directly to the dental clinic to get high skilled doctors, many years of experience with professional equipment and tools to do it.
We confirm that tartar scaling is not tooth whitening. This is just a typical dental procedure to remove the tartar and plaque that the toothbrush can’t clean every day.
However, the doctor will help the customer clean and polish the teeth with specialized dental materials after that. The tooth polishing helps to clean the plaque left on the teeth, so the tooth surface will also be brighter than before.
