Dear practo user Tartar is not a layer of tooth. It's a layer formed on tooth. It forms due to bad brushing habits.
Next Steps
scaling, visit your dentist at the earliest
Health Tips
brush twice daily vertically and in a circular motion. make sure no food gets lodged between teeth. use mouthwashes and Betadine gargle mixed in warm saline water. Get scaling done regularly. keep your vitamin d levels checked. massage gums regularly.
