Dental tartar under the gums: how to remove it and what are the experiences

Introduction: A Trip Down the Mouth Lane

Hey, I feel like I'm about to take you on a journey where no toothbrush has gone before, at least, I hope not yours because we're talking about dental tartar found under the gums. I know it isn't the most glamorous topic under the sun, just bear with me, will ya? On some nights, my bulldog Rupert and I like to lounge around and ponder life's weightier matters. One such night, I found myself thinking about tartar, you know, the kind that hides under your gums, not the sauce that goes so well with fish and chips. Now, before you start wriggling in discomfort and mutter, "Nathaniel, you strange man", let me explain.

The Nightmarish Nooks of Dental Tartar

Underneath those pearly whites lie some dark and somewhat gruesome truths. Dental tartar. The culprit behind all those long, painful hours spent in the dentist's chair. But, why is tartar an OPC (Oral Public Enemy)? Let's break it down without the fuss of dental jargon. Imagine hosting a party where the guests overstay their welcome, make a huge mess, and refuse to leave. Your teeth, being the gracious hosts, tolerate these rude guests (plaque, bacteria, and food residues) in the hotel rooms otherwise known as dental pockets around your gums. As time goes by, these party animals get hardened into a cement-like formation—pretty much like the nasty hangovers after an all-nighter party. Voila, you've got yourself dental tartar underneath the gums.

Fret not, folks, we're not doomed to a life of sore gums and dentist dread. There are ways to remove these uninvited guests. I'll let you in on a few tricks of the trade but remember, don’t try all these at home unguided, especially not after a couple of beers! The best way to disinvite these unwanted guests is a professional cleaning by your dentist. Another method is dental scaling. Yes, it sounds like you're preparing your teeth for a mountainous expedition. I won’t lie; it does feel somewhat like it with all those poky tools and sounds of scrapping. But the gleaming clean teeth at the end of it, oh boy!
