Tartar is 90% composed of mineralized bacteria. Their penetration to gingival pockets causes gum inflammation, which may lead to periodontitis.

• Prevent receding gums and exposed tooth necks
• Reduce the risk of periodontitis and tooth loss
• Smooth the surface of teeth and improve breath freshness
