Dental calculus, or tartar, is hardened plaque that accumulates on teeth and will not budge unless daily plaque is brushed and flossed away on a daily basis. Once calculus has accumulated, a dentist is the only means by which it can be eliminated — it cannot be brushed off.

Prevention of calculus on the teeth is a critical part of maintaining healthy gums and teeth. As we work at JSB Dental Lab to produce accurate restorations and appliances, we help dentists teach patients the importance of regular cleanings and good oral hygiene. Healthy gums and teeth provide for the long-term success of crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances.

With the combination of professional oral care and home care, patients can reduce plaque, protect restorations, and achieve a whiter, healthier smile at JSB Dental Lab.
