Is it possible to safely remove tartar (calculus) from your teeth without visiting a dentist?

If you go to a local drug store you should be able to find a metal dental pick. It should only cost you a max of $10. Than I would use it to scrape off all of the built up tartar. But remember there is no substitution for seeing your dentist.

The best thing to do would to see a dentist/Hygienist and get them to remove the Tartar for you.

Sure you could go into a large supermarket/Chemist and buy one of the many over priced products, which claim to remove tartar without ever having to see a dentist again.

But you could end up doing more harm in the long run.

Dentist's/Hygienists are highly trained professionals who know exactly what their doing and carry out this procedure on a daily basis.

Dunno if your from the uk but if so go to boots there now sellin these stick things which remove placque. This may help along with an electric tooth brush and some strong mouth wash. Use twice a day. good luck! The stick even comes with a mirror so u can see what ur doin!

NO!! It is under the gums to & requires training & special instuments. Doc W

hi

If you have a knowledge of it then you can do it, otherwise do not experience at home. Make search of some other sources so that you can get better treatment.

I used to go to the dentist and have my teeth cleaned every four months. I now have a Sonic tooth brush and do not have to have them professionally cleaned anymore.

no!!!!Go to the dentist,there is also invisible tartar,microscopic,that hurt your gums.

nope

idk but i would guess not
