Ok, to everyone here actually struggling with teeth care, buy yourself a 50$ or less ultrasonic tartare rremover and thank me later. That thing removed 4 years of tartare from my teeth, personally and now my teeth are clean. If you want to do below the gums, buy a regular dental kit and watch a bunch if tutorials on YT. It’s not as hard as they make it out to be, just take your time. Go see a dentist when you feel like your cleaning wasn’t enough or if you have an emergency, it’ll save you money (and teeth health) to take better care of them at home in the long run.

I don’t know why you’ve been downvoted because this is a legit question. It sounds like something Dr Who would use to remove unwanted tartar sauce from a fish fillet. I know it’s obviously not, but still.

It uses ultrasonic waves to melt the tartare off your teeth and is safe to use. It’s not strong enough to melt enamel, only to melt tartare (even hard plaque melts with some patience). Just follow instructions or watch a YT video explaining how to use it. It’s really not hard. People also use these for pets, as pets are notorious for not being able to stand still very long, but they still need dental care. Just check on Amazon, there’s plenty with thousands of reviews. I got mine on Amazon a year ago or so.

Yeah, but it’s kinda shocking I’ve never seen advertisements on TV or recommendations from doctors for it

It’s relatively new from what I see, but it’s the same technology some dentists use for teeth cleaning. Works pretty well, but like I said, it doesn’t go under the gums, so you need an actual dentist or dentist kit to do that, which is why dentists probably don’t want to recommend it; they don’t want people to think that this is all you need and get issues. They are right, but if you are smart, it’s a good thing to use to supplement teeth care between visits and saves you money, because you don’t have to go to the dentist as often (granted, you still need to brush your teeth, I don’t want anyone reading this thinking you don’t have to lol).
