Tartar breaking off
I have noticed a small crack in the tartar at the back of my front teeth. Should I worry? Can I wait 2 weeks to visit my dentist as I am not in the town. I have shared the picture below.
PS. Composite resin has been done on the gaps of my front teeth four months back. Yellow thing was not there was after the resin filling. It was build up few weeks later.
The tartar should be removed as early as possible..as it weakens the tooth.It affects gums and tooth becomes mobile.Brushing should be done properly.It can only be removed by scaling.so whenever u come to town ...visit the dentist first

Don't think it as an emergent issue until it starts hurting you or injure your gums. Keep up with your dental hygiene with twice daily brush and occasional mouthwash.
