How can you prevent tartar?!


Question: Besides brushing your teeth twice a day and mouthwash?
I heard that salt did the trick but I'm not sure if thats just a myth.
And are dentists the only people that can take the tartar off?
I'm going to my dentist to clean my teeth today and I just want to make sure that my teeth are decent.
I hear that tartar is really easy to build-up so I just want to prevent it in anyway possible.


Thanks!

Besides brushing your teeth, flossing thoroughly every day along with mouthwash, there is no way to prevent tartar.

I wish I knew, hun.

Supposedly aged cheeses like cheddar have an enzyme that is good at cleaning the mouth but if you can't have a block of cheese sitting around at work, bring some citrus (the acidity will clean your mouth)

You could try certain kinds of toothpaste, but for best results, a cleanup at the dentist's is the best way out.

if you floss your teeth daily tartar do not appear.

Yes if you develope tartar the only thing that will get it off is a proffessional clean
