How does tartar form? How does Aquafresh®-ALL with Tartar Control work?
Tartar forms when plaque that is not brushed away combines with the minerals in your saliva and hardens. As tartar begins to accumulate on teeth, it acts like a magnet, attracting more plaque. Some people are more prone to tartar formation than others because of their diet or the naturally occurring substances in their saliva. Once tartar has hardened, the only way to remove it is with a pick-like instrument, such as the one your dentist or hygienist uses. Brushing as directed with Aquafresh®-ALL with Tartar Control helps form a protective barrier that prevents plaque from hardening and reduces tartar buildup.
