The best way to remove and keep tartar from forming is to go to the dentist for regular cleanings. Then, brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Good oral hygiene prevents tartar from forming in the first place, so it doesn't need removal by you or the dentist. Most home remedies for tartar removal will just as easily damage your gums and enamel as remove tartar. We recommend regular dental visits paired with consistent tooth care at home.
