When the compound described above interacts with the salts that make up saliva, its mineralization occurs—hardening. At the exit we get tartar.
Why does this happen? All paths converge to one reason - poor oral care. Skipping a daily mandatory procedure, brushing too quickly and inattentively, not having dental floss and mouthwash on hand, overusing products with coloring pigments and smoking - and plaque, and a little later, tartar is ready!
Sea Fresh
Tartar paste “Sea Freshness” was created by manufacturers based on salts and minerals of the Dead Sea. The blue-green algae and aloe vera extract it contains help to effectively dissolve deposits, and calendula, echinacea, grapefruit seed extract and other extracts of medicinal plants will help strengthen the gums and relieve inflammation that accompanies the formation of tartar. Systematic use of Sea Fresh paste helps protect teeth and gums from plaque formation, caries, and bad breath.
Radonta
The uniqueness of Radonta toothpastes is that they are produced taking into account the needs of morning and evening teeth brushing. This is perhaps the only pasta that is available in morning and evening versions. Radont contains extracts of medicinal Tibetan plants that help monitor the condition of the oral cavity, removing pathogenic bacteria and plaque and thereby protecting teeth and gums from negative influences. Morning paste "Radonta" has an abrasive structure, which helps to better cleanse teeth and gums of plaque, whitening them. Evening has a gel structure, it is more gentle on teeth and gums, soothing them. The special formula prevents the formation of plaque, has a mild analgesic effect, and strengthens the vascular system of the patient’s gums.
Additional selection criteria
- Expiration dates are a less serious, but important nuance. Always check the manufacturing date and expiration date; you may not be poisoned by expired toothpaste, but its effectiveness will be reduced.
- RDA value - this value indicates the amount of abrasive materials in the paste. The higher this indicator, the more thoroughly it cleans the tooth surface, but also damages the enamel layer. If you are not buying a special whitening paste, make sure that this indicator does not exceed 100 for an adult toothpaste and 50 for a child’s toothpaste.
Global White
"Global White" also has a whitening effect and is excellent for everyday use. It perfectly removes stains and plaque from the enamel surface without injuring or scratching the enamel itself. Systematic use of Global White will not only help get rid of plaque, but also prevent the formation of stone. The silica granules included in the composition gently polish the teeth, making them white and shiny. In addition, this paste contains pyrophosphate and fluoride, strengthening the enamel.
It's all due to poor hygiene
Hard plaque is a special mineralized film that consists of many microbes. Poor daily brushing leads to their proliferation and promotes the growth of a soft, invisible film on the teeth. It, under the influence of microflora, begins to actively mineralize within fifteen hours.
Mineralization is completed after 7 days, and after 6 months full-fledged stones appear on the bone formations. The outer protective shell of the coronal part of the tooth, which is overgrown with plaque, begins to darken, but this is not the only negative aspect: hardened plaque (dental deposits) is the main infectious center and becomes the basis for the appearance of a number of diseases, which cause many troubles, including tooth loss.
Thus, cleaning hardened plaque is not only a hygienic aspect. This procedure can be called tooth-preserving, and competent treatment at the dentist is rarely complete without it. Before: replacing a lost or irreversibly damaged tooth with an artificial implant; installation of orthodontic braces; whitening or other procedures, the specialist carefully removes the stones so that the procedure leads to a positive result.
Tartar
Sensitive
Sensitive toothpaste, intended for sensitive teeth, not only perfectly removes pathogenic bacteria and cleanses the oral cavity of plaque, but also protects teeth from the formation of tartar. Systematic use of this paste helps reduce increased bleeding of the gums and stop the inflammatory process. The pure silver included in the composition has a pronounced antibacterial effect, which helps remove pathogenic bacteria and improve blood circulation in the gum tissue.
Silver
Toothpaste with silver “Silver” not only protects teeth from the formation of plaque and tartar, but also helps protect the oral cavity from pathogenic bacteria. If you brush your teeth daily with Silver toothpaste, they become whiter and brighter, and bad breath disappears forever. It is especially effective and indicated for those who like to drink tea, coffee and other coloring drinks that leave unaesthetic stains on the surface of the enamel. The silver contained in the product helps fight pathogenic bacteria, aloe vera extract has soothing properties and helps relieve inflammation in the gums, mint gives a pleasant fresh taste and smell.
How to know if you have tartar
Look in the mirror, paying attention to the condition of your teeth from the inside. The fact that at first glance the enamel seems clean and quite light is not yet an indicator. Calculus is a cloudy white, yellowish or almost black deposit between the teeth or at the bottom of the gums.
It would be good if these unpleasant formations caused only aesthetic displeasure. Their presence threatens the formation of gum pockets, where the remnants of eaten food will accumulate, exposing the base and, as a result, diseases of soft and hard tissues.
New Pearl
New Pearl toothpaste helps to cope with all the main dangers that threaten enamel. It effectively protects against caries, helps avoid inflammation and bleeding of the gums, prevents the formation of tartar, fights increased tooth sensitivity, eliminates bad breath, and gently whitens the enamel, removing stains from its surface. “New Pearl” is a series of toothpastes that is ideal for the whole family. Anti-caries products will perfectly and reliably protect your teeth from bacteria that cause caries. Complex paste contains fluoride and calcium, which helps strengthen tooth enamel. Whitening pastes “New Pearl” will carefully remove all deposits from the surface of tooth enamel without damaging the enamel itself. “New Pearl” effectively removes stone from the enamel surface and prevents its re-formation.

Jason
Jason toothpastes appeared on the modern dental market relatively recently, but immediately won the sympathy of both dentists and patients. They are completely harmless to your teeth, but at the same time they perform many positive functions. First of all, Jason is an excellent preventative against caries, protecting your teeth from pathogenic bacteria. Also, this line of toothpastes perfectly cleanses and polishes the surface of teeth, carefully removing plaque and other deposits. Jason contains no preservatives, so they do not have a negative effect on the microflora of the oral cavity. The fluorides included in the product destroy pathogenic bacteria and strengthen the enamel. Perilla extract prevents dental plaque from firmly attaching to the enamel surface. That is why Jason pastes are considered one of the most effective means of combating stone and other deposits.
An electric toothbrush -
Oral-B toothbrushes have a round rotating head with bristles, which in standard mode makes 8,800 rotational and 20,000 pulsating movements per minute. Pulsating movements loosen plaque, and rotational movements sweep it away from the teeth and polish them. It must be said that such brushes are 2 times better at removing plaque (compared to ordinary manual toothbrushes), but usually even they can no longer cope with tightly attached plaque. Therefore, we will use such a brush with a special paste.
For our purposes, it is better to choose a toothbrush model that, in addition to the traditional “Daily Cleaning” mode, will have a “Whitening/Polishing” or “For Sensitive Teeth” mode. This is necessary so that the brush operates at lower speeds, because in this case, “faster does not mean better.” And keep in mind that electric brushes with a different operating principle (for example, sonic or ultrasonic) are not suitable for our purposes.
My electric toothbrushes -
The first photo shows my first toothbrush, “Oral-B PRO 500 CrossAction” (it’s a great brush, but I don’t use it anymore). This is an excellent brush for hygiene, but there is only 1 operating mode, “Daily Cleaning,” in which the nozzle makes 8,800 reciprocating and 20,000 pulsating movements per minute. This mode is not very suitable for polishing teeth with special pastes, because... the paste will splash heavily at high speed, and besides, such pastes remove dental plaque better at low speeds.
The second photo shows the Oral-B Genius 9000 toothbrush, which I have been using for the last 3 years. This model has many modes, including the “Whitening/polishing” mode we need. Another important detail - for our purposes, the most suitable type of attachments is “Precision Clean” (see photo below), which almost exactly resembles polishing brushes in a dentist’s office. Well, in the next section we will move on to discussing polishing agents.
Royal Denta Silver
Royal Denta Silver toothpaste is very popular among customers, as it provides an excellent therapeutic effect thanks to the silver and gold ions included in the product. Systematic use of toothpaste allows you to quickly restore the natural whiteness of teeth, remove tea and coffee stains, as well as various deposits from the enamel surface. A pleasant bonus from the systematic use of “Royal Denta Silver” is the removal of bad breath.
Dabur "Carnation"
The peculiarity of Dabur-Gvozdika toothpaste is that it is a completely natural product that does not contain dyes or preservatives. It contains extracts of medicinal plants that help to gently and carefully clean and protect your teeth. Neutralization of pathogenic bacteria helps to normalize the microflora of the oral cavity; the presence of natural anti-inflammatory drugs helps to cope with inflammatory processes in the gum tissue. This paste is suitable for the whole family, including babies, since it does not contain chemical ingredients that could harm the health of your baby. The cloves included in the composition are an effective local anesthetic, which helps relieve pain in teeth and gums during hygiene procedures.
Detartrine
Detarthrin toothpaste is intended specifically for removing tartar from the surface of the patient’s teeth. It contains crushed zircon, which is an excellent abrasive that cleans the surface of teeth from deposits without damaging the enamel. Zircon plates, resembling scrapers, very carefully and carefully scrape tartar and other deposits from the surface of the teeth. Essential oils, which are included in the paste, freshen breath, cool gums, and give a feeling of freshness and cleanliness for a long time.
Indications for the use of Detarthrin toothpaste are the need to remove stains from tea, coffee or tobacco, polishing composite fillings, and treating teeth after tartar removal. Most often, Detarthrin paste is used by dentists for professional teeth cleaning.
Customer Reviews
Veronica: I often buy Dabur paste.
I like its smell and am attracted by the presence of natural ingredients in the composition. For me, the last quality is the most important, since not only my husband and I use the paste, but also our kids. Svetlana:
I've tried a lot of cleansers to clean my teeth. When tartar developed, the dentist advised me to use Albadent. And indeed, it saved me from an unpleasant problem and gave me fresh breath throughout the day. I am very pleased with my choice and now I only buy Albadent.
Angelina: I really like using Detartrin paste. I am satisfied with almost everything about it - composition, price, health safety. The paste clears plaque on enamel, strengthens my gums and eliminates the problem of bleeding gums.
