The best way to remove plaque is routine flossing and brushing. However, after plaque has been left on the teeth long enough, it will harden into tarter. At this point you need to have your teeth professionally cleaned by a dental hygienist. You will not be able to brush or floss off the tarter. If the tarter is not removed, it causes inflammation of the gum tissues. This will lead to gum disease and bone loss if you let go long enough. This is the most common cause of loss of teeth. Hope that helps to answer your question.
