The appearance of dental plaque is a natural process that cannot be avoided. Coffee, red wine, coloring foods and dishes, smoking, drinking poor-quality water - all this leads to teeth acquiring an unaesthetic dark shade. But is it possible to get rid of this unpleasant manifestation? Of course you can. First, you should have your teeth professionally cleaned by your dentist regularly. And secondly, it is important to use high-quality anti-plaque toothpaste.
Sea Fresh
Tartar paste “Sea Freshness” was created by manufacturers based on salts and minerals of the Dead Sea. The blue-green algae and aloe vera extract it contains help to effectively dissolve deposits, and calendula, echinacea, grapefruit seed extract and other extracts of medicinal plants will help strengthen the gums and relieve inflammation that accompanies the formation of tartar. Systematic use of Sea Fresh paste helps protect teeth and gums from plaque formation, caries, and bad breath.
Tartar
Dental plaque refers to microscopic pieces of food, epithelial particles and bactericidal deposits that accumulate on the surface of the teeth and look like a film that increases in size every day.
Plaque does virtually no harm, but its main danger is its transformation into hard tartar.
Tartar, according to experts, leads to caries, periodontal disease and many other diseases.
The abundance of bacteria found in tartar contributes to the breakdown of carbohydrates, which predominate in leftover food. During this process, acids are formed that lead to damage to the enamel.
Dental plaque usually hardens after a few days. Complete crystallization begins on days 7-9.
The main reasons for the formation of tartar include:
- failure to comply with hygiene rules for oral care;
- drinking large amounts of carbonated drinks;
- the predominance of carbohydrates in the diet;
- pathology of the internal system of the body;
- smoking;
- malocclusion.

The uniqueness of Radonta toothpastes is that they are produced taking into account the needs of morning and evening teeth brushing. This is perhaps the only pasta that is available in morning and evening versions. Radont contains extracts of medicinal Tibetan plants that help monitor the condition of the oral cavity, removing pathogenic bacteria and plaque and thereby protecting teeth and gums from negative influences. Morning paste "Radonta" has an abrasive structure, which helps to better cleanse teeth and gums of plaque, whitening them.

Unfortunately no. Baby teeth are very fragile and delicate. Therefore, no pastes with abrasives can be used in children. Children should choose special children's pastes depending on their age.
It is important for parents to teach their children to prevent plaque formation. You should brush your child’s teeth in the morning and evening, and also allow him to chew carrots and hard apples.

How does plaque appear?
Dental plaque is formed in several stages:
- A soft bacterial plaque begins to settle on the enamel.
- If the oral cavity is not cleaned properly, plaque begins to harden within a few days.
- Then the plaque is mineralized, saturated with phosphorus and calcium, and cleaning teeth from such plaque becomes quite a difficult task.
How to choose toothpaste to fight plaque?
When purchasing anti-plaque toothpaste, you should pay attention to the following parameters of the product:
- RDA level.
The higher the number next to this inscription, the more abrasive particles there are in the toothpaste. If you need to remove hard plaque, you should select pastes with an index of more than 100 units. And those with sensitive enamel should not even try products with an indicator exceeding 70 units. - Fluorine and fluorides
are substances with very ambivalent benefits. Remember, their quantity must be standardized. In large doses, these compounds are toxic and can lead to enamel destruction. A safe amount of fluoride is no more than 0.6%. - Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
often forms foam in toothpaste. Unfortunately, sodium lauryl sulfate is harmful to the body, and you should choose toothpastes that do not contain it. - Triclosan
is an antibiotic that is used to destroy pathogenic flora. However, along with the infection, beneficial bacteria are also killed, which negatively affects the acid balance in the mouth. It is better to buy pastes without this element. - Calcium carbonate
is an abrasive that, in addition to its beneficial effect, neutralizes the effect of fluorides.
Royal Denta Silver
Royal Denta Silver toothpaste is very popular among customers, as it provides an excellent therapeutic effect thanks to the silver and gold ions included in the product. Systematic use of toothpaste allows you to quickly restore the natural whiteness of teeth, remove tea and coffee stains, as well as various deposits from the enamel surface. A pleasant bonus from the systematic use of “Royal Denta Silver” is the removal of bad breath.
Reviews
Below are some customer reviews. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.
I have always paid a lot of attention to oral hygiene, but a few months ago I noticed that I had tartar. It turned out that the reason was brushing my teeth with toothpaste, which was completely unsuitable for me.
The dentist recommended using the Detartrin and after just a week of use, the first results could be noticed. The stone is gradually peeled off, and sometimes it simply falls off in small pieces. I plan to repeat the course soon.
During a trip to South Korea, I saw Dental Clinic 2080 and, out of curiosity, decided to buy it. When I returned home, I started using Korean paste and, to be honest, I did not expect such an effect.
In just 10 procedures, tartar on the chewing teeth became almost invisible, increased sensitivity disappeared, the enamel became several shades lighter, and the gums stopped bleeding. A little more and my teeth will be in perfect condition!
Splat Liquum-gel paste immediately after visiting the doctor, who said that hard dental plaque was beginning to form in me. Initially, the product attracted me with its reasonable price and good composition, so I bought it without hesitation and did not regret it.
The paste did an excellent job with the initial stage of plaque mineralization and eliminated bad breath. The teeth are clean and smooth, the slight yellowness has disappeared, and tartar no longer forms. I recommend.
Dabur "Carnation"
The peculiarity of Dabur-Gvozdika toothpaste is that it is a completely natural product that does not contain dyes or preservatives.

This paste is suitable for the whole family, including babies, since it does not contain chemical ingredients that could harm the health of your baby. The cloves included in the composition are an effective local anesthetic, which helps relieve pain in teeth and gums during hygiene procedures.
