3D Model of Dental Calculus

Dental Calculus, also known as tartar, is the hardened form of dental plaque that adheres to the teeth when plaque is not properly removed. Calculus forms both above and below the gumline and provides a rough surface that allows further plaque accumulation, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. It can only be removed through professional dental cleanings. Regular brushing and flossing help prevent calculus formation.
