What is scrape Tartar? Can you scrape tartar off your teeth?
Scraping tartar, also known as dental scaling, is a process in which a dentist or dental hygienist uses a special tool to remove tartar buildup from the teeth. Tartar, also known as dental calculus, is a hardened plaque that forms on teeth over time due to the accumulation of bacteria and food debris. Tartar cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing alone and requires professional cleaning.
What is tartar scraping? Why is tartar scraping necessary?
Tartar scraping, also known as dental scaling, is one of the most common cleaning methods performed by dentists using specialized equipment to remove hardened plaque buildup on the surface of teeth that regular oral hygiene practices cannot remove. Tartar buildup is characterized by yellowish, calcified deposits on teeth and if left untreated, it can cause serious oral health issues for patients.
- Tartar buildup can cause bad breath, affecting daily communication.
- Tartar can damage tooth enamel, causing persistent yellowing that is difficult to resolve.
- Tartar buildup can affect gums, causing gum inflammation, recession, exposed tooth roots, and ultimately tooth loss.
- Tartar buildup can cause bleeding and gum diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis.
According to dental experts, patients should undergo tartar scraping at reputable dental clinics every 6 months as a minimum, to help dentists better understand their oral health status and provide support if necessary. However, the frequency of tartar scraping appointments may vary depending on each individual's personal oral hygiene habits. By doing so, patients can avoid oral health problems during regular checkups.

Notes after scrape tartar
Here are some things to keep in mind after getting your teeth cleaned to ensure that they remain healthy and avoid any sensitivity:
Avoid smoking, as smoking is a major cause of tooth discoloration. When your teeth enamel is still weak after cleaning, exposure to cigarette smoke can lead to yellowing of the teeth quickly.
Do not use any teeth whitening products, as the enamel and gums are still unstable after cleaning. Using such products can easily cause sensitivity, irritate the gums and affect the condition of your teeth in the long run.
Avoid foods and drinks that are high in sugar and sweeteners, as they are the main cause of tooth decay and gum inflammation.
Stay away from carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, and those with added colors, as they can stain your teeth.
Avoid extremely hot, cold, or spicy foods, as they can cause sensitivity when your enamel is still weak after cleaning.
