Did you know that bad breath occurs because it is caused by accumulation of tartar in the mouth

Tartar is a condition of excessive minerals in the mouth. These minerals will accumulate and form tartar with a hard and rough texture and a yellowish color. Unfortunately, tartar cannot be removed by simply brushing your teeth. So, another effective way is needed, namely by doing tooth scaling.

If not cleaned, it will certainly cause oral health problems, such as bad breath or even cavities. So, scaling is the most appropriate way to clean tartar

Causes of tartar

Tartar is a pile of minerals that settle in the mouth. Usually, tartar occurs due to food residue that is not cleaned. The rest of this food will form plaque on the teeth which are smooth and thin. However, if left unchecked this plaque will form tartar. You can also find out when your tartar has formed by paying attention to the signs, such as bad breath, yellow teeth, rough tooth surfaces, and swollen gums

Consequences of Pile of Tartar

In general, tartar does not have significant symptoms and does not interfere with dental health. However, when a pile of tartar is left unchecked it will certainly invite bacteria and disease to enter more easily. Because, the disease will be comfortable living in a dirty and smelly environment. Following are some of the consequences of piles of coral that have not been cleaned up in a long time. 

1. Dislodged teeth 

2. Gum infection Gingivitis 

3. Cavities
