You’re able to remove plaque at home by brushing and flossing, but calculus (hardened plaque, sometimes called tartar) is something that can only be removed by a dental professional. It requires scaling above and below your gumline with special instruments, and you’ll leave with smoother, cleaner teeth and healthier gums.

Do you suspect you have tartar (calculus) build-up? It does happen more easily as we age. Call (416) 927-7600 to schedule a hygiene visit with us, and we’ll take care of you.

A frequently dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable — it can lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. Dry mouth (“xerostomia”) is a condition that happens when the salivary glands in your mouth don't produce enough saliva. It can be caused by medication, medical conditions, to***co use, alcohol consumption, or eating certain foods. Talk to us about dry mouth. We can suggest ways to treat it, such as special lozenges, hydrating sprays, or simple lifestyle changes.
