Impact of Tartar If Allowed to Build Up
Tartar that is not cleaned and left alone without special treatment can cause health problems, especially the mouth. The following is information on the impact of tartar if allowed to accumulate:
Inflammation of the gums
If allowed to accumulate, can trigger inflammation of the gums which is commonly called gingivitis or inflammation of the gums. When gingivitis has hit and the tartar hasn't been cleaned, it won't last long and you will experience periodintitis. Periodontitis is a gum infection that damages the teeth, soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontitis must be treated immediately because it can cause serious complications.
A gathering place for bacteria
Tartar can have serious effects on oral health, especially if it appears above the gum line. Because there is a perfect place for bacteria to nest. Then the bacteria enter the gums and damage them and cause the gums to experience irritation and inflammation.
Teeth become brittle easily
When there is inflammation of the gums, the body's defense system will react against the bacteria in the pus pockets on the teeth. But bacteria will also release self-defense substances. This condition causes the teeth and surrounding tissues to be damaged. If it continues to be left like that, the teeth will fall out easily and experience bone thinning.
Do dental and oral health checks at a general or specialist dentist to control your teeth at least once every 6 months and do regular scaling or cleaning of tartar to avoid problems with dental and oral health.
