A member asked:

If someone has tartar on his teeth which formula toothpaste would you like to suggest, is there any particular toothpaste to address such oral problem?

makes no difference: It is not the toothpaste but the toothbrush that does most of the work you need soft new toothbrush to clean. If the tartar is hard (calculus) then you need to get it proffesionally cleaned off.

No toothpaste: Will dissolve tartar. That needs to be removed in person at the dentist office.

see dentist: Tartar, also known as calculus needs to be removed above and below the gum line by a licensed dentist or hygienist. Toothpastes are helpful in removing plaque, the soft bacteria on the teeth. By attempting to remove tartar yourself, you can cause a periodontal infection. Most adults require at least every 6 months visits to scale teeth, some requiring more often to prevent bone and tooth loss.
