The removal of dental calculus can mainly be achieved through the following methods:
1. Professional cleaning: The most effective method for removing dental calculus is to undergo regular professional cleaning at a dental clinic. Professional dentists can use ultrasonic scalers or manual dental instruments for removal. This method effectively eliminates dental calculus and minimizes damage to the teeth and gums.
2. Daily oral hygiene: Developing good oral hygiene habits is crucial for preventing the formation of dental calculus. It is recommended to brush your teeth twice daily, in the morning and evening, using a soft-bristled toothbrush, with each brushing session lasting no less than 2 minutes. A diagonal brushing technique, moving from the gums toward the teeth, is advised. In addition, using dental floss and mouthwash can assist in cleaning the mouth, reducing bacterial growth and lowering the risk of dental calculus formation.
If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified dental professional.
