Plaque is a sticky, soft and almost invisible film of bacteria that accumulates on the teeth, gums, and tongue, as well as in dental restorations such as dentures, crowns and fillings. The bacteria found in this film are often responsible for cavities, tooth decay and periodontal or gum disease. Tartar arises from plague, when plague stays for a longer time on your teeth; it hardens and turns into tartar. Tartar is a yellow hard deposit on the teeth, consisting of food, mineral salts, and calcium carbonate. Tartar is also called calculus.

20 AMAZING WAYS TO REMOVE PLAQUE AND TARTAR FROM TEETH AT HOME

1. Brush Your Teeth Properly

The most important factor in plaque removal and prevention is rigorous daily brushing. You need to brush daily to remove plaque as it forms so that it does not turn into hardened tartar which usually has to be removed by a dentist or hygienist. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, making sure to get around the gums and tongue as well. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommended the following method as the most efficient: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gum line. Point it upward, or toward your nose every time you clean the upper teeth; downward, or toward the chin when you are brushing the lower teeth. This angle also helps you clean the gum line, something that many people miss.
