How to Remove Calcium Deposits Off of Teeth

Calcium deposits can alter the aesthetics of your mouth. This often occurs when there has been an upset in the development of a tooth. When the cells that create the enamel on the teeth add too many minerals to the mix, the result is calcium deposits. Calcium deposits can't be removed with just a regular cleaning. However, they generally can be removed, as long as they aren't too deep.

Instructions

• 1

  Consult a dentist to determine your treatment options. He will need to do a thorough examination to determine how deep the calcium deposits are on your teeth.

• 2

  Remove the calcium deposits with air abrasion. This procedure involves the dentist using a machine that blows crystal particles over your teeth. The machine will be aimed right at the calcium deposits.

• 3

  Have bonding done to your teeth. To do this, the dentist applies white filling to the area of the calcium deposit. This makes it impossible for calcium deposits to return.

• 4

  Add porcelain veneers to your teeth. This is your best option if calcium deposits return after you have exhausted other ways to remove them. Veneers must be added to the top of your teeth by a dentist.
