Which is the most recommended toothpaste for removing tartar?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Tartar control : Many brands offer a variety in their line-up that claims "tartar control". This may help to control build up but your best bet for removal is to go to your dentist for a professional cleaning.

None: No toothpaste can 'remove' tartar buildup. Toothpaste can 'prevent' the formation of tartar buildup, but only if used regularly. Your best bet is to go to your dentist or dental hygienist and have a prophylaxis or dental cleaning, where plaque and tartar are removed by scraping the surface of the teeth with special instruments.
