Brushing and flossing can remove plaque which causes calculus to form. But once calculus does form, it is too hard and firmly attached to be removed with a toothbrush. dental visits are necessary so that calculus build up can be professionally removed with sharp instruments.

If you don't brush your teeth what builds on them?

If you do not brush your teeth, dental plaque will begin to form on them. Dental plaque is a mixture of food debris and bacteria. Within a few days, tartar (or calculus) will begin to form once minerals from the saliva harden it.
