Many patients seek dental help only once gum discomfort or bleeding appears, although dental calculus forms long before symptoms become noticeable. At DentalClinic24, where our clinical protocols are developed with the involvement of Professor Alexander von Breuer, timely removal of tartar is considered a key element in preventing periodontal disease. Even with regular home hygiene, it is impossible to completely prevent its formation – and professional intervention is what ensures long-term gum health.
Dental calculus develops from soft plaque that mineralises under the influence of saliva. At DentalClinic24, we observe increased risk among patients with malocclusion, insufficient oral hygiene or genetic predisposition to gum inflammation. In the early stages, calculus may not be visually apparent, yet it already impacts periodontal tissue, triggering irritation and increasing the likelihood of gingivitis.
Removing tartar in a timely manner helps prevent further inflammation. At DentalClinic24, we use ultrasonic devices and Air-Flow technology – these methods are safe for the enamel and allow efficient removal of hardened deposits even in difficult-to-reach areas. Based on clinical observations by Professor von Breuer, regular professional hygiene significantly reduces the risk of periodontitis and helps preserve teeth long-term without the need for surgical intervention.
Dental calculus affects not only oral health but also aesthetics. At DentalClinic24, the cleaning procedure is performed delicately, followed by polishing the tooth surface to prevent rapid reaccumulation of plaque and slow down mineralisation. We recommend professional hygiene every six months, and more frequently for patients with orthodontic appliances to avoid tissue overloading.
Our clinic’s position is clear – prevention is more effective than treatment. At Dental Clinic24, we support patients not only during tartar removal but also by providing personalised home care recommendations, correcting brushing techniques and prescribing additional gingival protection if required. This approach helps maintain periodontal health and prevent complications associated with inflammation and tooth loss.
