Little calculus (Or tartat?) don't need to be removed?

Question

I have notice a little white line on my lower front teeth which I thought is probably calculus, so I went to the dentist to get it removed. He said it's just too little and doesn't really need to be removed. I'm wondering if that what he was supposed to do....just leave it there?

Answer 1

My dentist recommended using hydrogen pyroxide and baking soda periodically on a toothbrush to remove it. You only want to do it every 3 weeks or so since using it too often will remove beneficial bacteria.
