you need to get the scaling done and then start using the water pik to maintain the same so that it wont gt accumulated in further and the water pik most of the times is used instead of a dental floss so it wont help u in removing the tar or calculus

These hard deposits are called as calculus and cannot be removed by toothbrushing or any other home technique. You will be required to visit a dentist for professional teeth cleaning by procedure of ultrasonic scaling. Try to schedule an appointment as soon as possible so that your teeth look cleaner and gum health is improved.
