Removing Plaque and Tartar with MA Dental Universal Curettes

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall health and well-being. One of the most common problems faced by people is plaque build-up on their teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that accumulates on teeth and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated. To combat this problem, dental professionals use dental curettes, which are specialized instruments designed to remove plaque and tartar from teeth. 

In this blog post, we will discuss the best dental curettes by MA Dental for removing plaque and tartar, as well as the difference between universal curettes and Gracey curettes.

Universal curettes have a curved and rounded blade, with two cutting edges, making them perfect for removing both supra and sub-gingival calculus. They are versatile instruments and can be used on all teeth surfaces, making them a popular choice for many dental professionals.
