Oops, it comes again with in minutes after brushing; but it is harmless in the beginning. Later it develops into definitively pathological entity called Calculus.
Calculus often refereed as tartar is the calcified deposits on theteeth, formed by the continuous presence of dental plaque. Its rough surface provides an ideal medium for further plaque formation, unaesthetic stains and a breeding ground for number of bacteria, threatening the health of the gingiva.
What happens when you don't clean your teeth?
According to the Sri Lankan Tea Labourer study, in the absence of any oral hygiene activity, approximately 10% will suffer from severe periodontal disease with rapid loss of attachment (>2 mm/year). 80% will suffer from moderate loss (1-2 mm/year) and the remaining 10% will not suffer any loss.
