Stains and deposits on teeth
Stains and tartar (calculus) buildup are common causes of tooth discoloration, bad breath, and gum issues.
These deposits typically form due to inadequate oral hygiene. Many patients report that they brush twice a day yet still experience frequent buildup. In such cases, the issue may lie in improper brushing technique or a lack of flossing, which are both essential for effective cleaning.
