The LARGEST piece of TARTAR I’ve seen in my life - INCREDIBLE size!

This may be the largest block of dental tartar I have ever seen.

Why did this happen?
Tartar is formed by the calcification of bacterial plaque, which is that yellowish substance that accumulates on the surface of the teeth when we don't brush.
This tartar is made up of mineral salts and lots of bacteria.
Tartar is the main cause of periodontal disease or periodontitis, and is the main cause of tooth loss in adults.
To prevent this tartar from forming, it is important to maintain adequate oral hygiene and perform periodontal prophylaxis or cleanings periodically.
In this case, this patient probably has some psychological or mobility problem that has prevented her from brushing her teeth for a long time.
