Ans: Tartar, or dental calculus, forms when plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) on your teeth hardens over time. Even with regular brushing, tartar can form if:
1. Brushing technique is inadequate (e.g., not brushing along the gum line)
2. Brushing frequency or duration is insufficient
3. Plaque buildup isn't fully removed
4. Diet high in sugars, acids, or starches contributes to plaque formation
Regular dental cleanings (Scaling) can help remove tartar and prevent its buildup. Your dentist or hygienist can also provide personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene.
