How can i remove tartar from teeth at home?

See your dentist: Heavy deposits on teeth usually require a thorough scaling and prophylaxis at your dentist. It is difficult to attemp;t to scrape off this material by oneself in a mirror.

Professional help: It would be hard to remove tartar or calculus from your teeth at home without proper dental instruments. I would recommend seeking professional care from a dentist. Failure to remove the tartar will result in gum disease.
