Dental tartar removal is a professional dental cleaning procedure used to remove hardened plaque (tartar) that cannot be eliminated by regular brushing or flossing. Tartar buildup commonly occurs along the gum line and between teeth and can lead to gum inflammation and periodontal disease if left untreated.

During the procedure, specialized instruments are used to carefully remove deposits from tooth surfaces and below the gum line. This treatment helps protect gum health, reduce bad breath, and prevent further dental problems. Regular tartar removal is an essential part of preventive oral care and supports long-term dental and periodontal health.
