Tartar is mineralized microbes deposited on the enamel of teeth. The advanced stage of this problem can provoke an inflammatory process and cause serious harm to the gums. The first cause of plaque, and then tartar, is insufficient oral care. Choosing quality toothpaste is a very important point in the matter of daily hygiene.

Anti-plaque toothpastes are divided into two main groups:

• Hygienic.
  Carrying out mechanical cleaning of dental plaque.
• Therapeutic and prophylactic.
  Designed for the prevention of various diseases and can solve the problem of tartar, among other things.

An important point when choosing a toothpaste is its abrasiveness. It depends on the number and size of abrasive particles included in the product. The larger the particles, the more they polish the enamel. The whitening effect is higher, but highly abrasive toothpastes are not suitable for sensitive or damaged enamel.

The abrasiveness index is always indicated on the packaging and written as RDA. There are:

• RDA 20-50 - low abrasive pastes.
• RDA 50-80 - moderately abrasive pastes.
• RDA 80-110 - polishing pastes.
• RDA over 120 - pastes with intense brightening effects.

Of course, you definitely need to pay attention to the composition of the toothpaste. Many manufacturers use thickeners for their products. It is important that the product is not only effective, but also safe.

To solve the problems of plaque formation and prevent its mineralization into tartar, the following active components are well suited:

• Pyrophosphates.
• Urea peroxide.
• Xylitol.
• Hydroxyapatite.
• Papain, bromelain.
