Brushing and flossing clean visible areas of teeth, but they cannot remove hardened deposits beneath the gumline. When soft plaque is left behind, it hardens into calculus (tartar), which cannot be removed at home. Professional cleaning prevents gum disease, bad breath, stains, and long-term damage to the teeth and supporting bone.
Calculus is hard yellowish deposit that forms over and between teeth when plaque is not removed on time. Plaque is a soft film of bacteria, food debris, and saliva. Within 24–72 hours, minerals in saliva harden this film into tartar, which firmly adheres to tooth surfaces and the gumline.
Once formed, it cannot be removed by brushing. Attempts to scrape it off at home can injure the gums and worsen infection. Professional cleaning is the only safe way to eliminate these deposits and restore gum health.
How calculus forms:
Neglecting tartar can result in:
Gingivitis (early gum problems)
Gums become red, swollen, and may bleed while brushing.
Periodontitis (advanced gum disease)
Gums may recede and teeth may feel loose if ignored.
Persistent bad breath
Tartar allows bacteria to thrive, causing chronic mouth odour.
Tooth loss risk
Advanced gum disease leads to loosening and eventual loss of teeth.
Scaling (Professional Cleaning)
Removes tartar and plaque from above and below the gumline. Ideal for routine preventive care.

I went to clove dental for the first time to fix my zriconia cap for my tooth. Dr. Prabavathi and Dr. Monisha who take care me very well.
Had a great experience at Clove Dental Clinic in Alwarthirunagar. The doctor clearly explained my dental condition, and the treatment was painless. Really appreciated the professional care. Highly recommended
Amazing dentist ( Dr prabhavathi and surgeon Praveen and staff! They always have the newest and best stuff - they have this laser that you don't even feel any pain with. Dr.prabhavathi did fillings with it. It's an extremely nice office and I always feel pampered. Doesn't even feel like a dental office. If you can't afford to pay for big work up front she offers a lot of options for payment plans which has been incredibly helpful. Best dentist. Hands down. I'd recommend Dr.prabhavathi for any type of work you need done from just a cleaning or whitening or even dental implants. She has amazing before and afters of the work she's done. Thank you Dr.Prabha Continue the same XOXO
