Hello
the plaque that has hardened is calculus. Get scaling (cleaning) done by your dentist. The yellow discolouration caused by it would be gone, calculus and stains will be removed. Get scaling done whenever feasible.
Maintain oral hygiene
brush twice daily
do warm salt water rinses.
Hope this helps.
For further queries you can contact on code nv6172.

Hello, tartar/ plaque develops throughout our life even after getting it cleaned once by scaling it can develop again and thus a professional round of scaling should be done every year, and yes deposits between the teeth can also be cleaned by the dentist. After scaling, brushing in morning and night and rinsing with mouthwash after the meals should be followed.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Tartar or calculus is nothing but the calcified deposit which needs to be cleaned professionally by a dentist. However for future visits I would say even a dentist gets his/her teeth cleaned once in a year because formation of mild to severe calculus will occur in every individual. So maintain your oral hygiene but do get scaling or cleaning done by a dentist once in a year.
Thanks.
Thanks.
