The mouth is a window into what is going on inside the body, often acting as vantage point for catching the early signs of systemic disease. For instance, systemic conditions like diabetes or AIDS often manifest as mouth lesions or other oral problems.
As a matter of fact, as reported by the Academy of General Dentistry, over 90% of all systemic diseases become apparent as oral problems.
Tartar is one of the most common oral problems these days.
Any tartar that is formed above the gum line is extremely detrimental, as the bacteria it contains might damage the gums and eventually lead to gum disease.
This plaque that accumulates on the teeth is much more than a threat to your dental health, though. In addition to causing gum disease and a wide range of additional dental problems, it affects the overall health, too.
Mounting evidence suggests that bacteria build-up and inflammation in the mouth are associated with other problems, including dementia and heart attack.
According to a 2009 paper issued by the American Academy of Periodontology and The American Journal of Cardiology, there is a strong link between heart disease and gum disease.
Its recommendations encourage cardiologists to ask their patients about their oral health. Periodontists are also encouraged to ask their patients about their heart health and family history of heart disease.
Tartar, also known as calculus, is typically removed with specific tools in the dentist`s office.
