Find out what happens if you save tartar

What are the consequences of storing tartar?

1. The oral cavity becomes a nesting place for bacteria
When bacteria form colonies, plaque will increase, plaque  can spread to the gums. When plaque reaches the gums, tartar or plaque presses on the surface of the gums, causing inflammation or gingivitis. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums where the surface tissue of the gums has been infected with tartar-forming bacteria. The following are signs of Gingivitis

1. When brushing your teeth, your gums bleed easily
2. When I woke up my gums felt bleeding
3. If the tartar is thick enough to fill the gums, when the tongue touches the gums, the gums can easily bleed. Inflammation of the Tooth Supporting Tissue (Periodontitis)if, in conditions of gingivitis, the tartar is not immediately removed, the bacteria in the tartar will continue to grow more and more, thus reaching the deeper tissue supporting the teeth, namely the alveolar bone.
    

Bacteria in tartar will damage the attachment between the alveolar bone and the surface layer of the tooth, namely the Periodontal Ligament. In this condition, you will feel:

1.  The tooth feels sore, because the tissue supporting the tooth is separated from the attachment, which should cover the surface of the tooth root
2. Teeth start to feel loose because the bacteria in the tartar are larger/more abundant, breaking through the attachment between the tissue supporting the teeth and the root surface. Over time, if treatment is not immediately carried out, the teeth will fall out spontaneously because the more tartar spreads, the degree of tooth mobility will increase. .

2. Bad breath
Even if you brush your teeth regularly and use mouthwash, bad breath still persists because bacteria is still stored in tartar.
3. Aesthetic Disorders
Tartar or plaque can disturb your appearance or make you feel self-conscious, because your teeth tend to look unclean and yellowish in color.
