Tartar, also known as calculus, develops when plaque and minerals in saliva solidify on teeth, leading to a yellow or brown appearance. Without proper oral hygiene, tartar can accumulate on the tooth surface and beneath the gum line, raising the risk of gum disease and related dental issues. To prevent tartar buildup, maintain consistent oral care: brush teeth at least twice daily, floss regularly, utilize antiseptic mouthwash, minimize intake of sugary and starchy foods, and attend regular dental check-ups. #dentalhealth #oralhealth #oralhygiene #oralcare
