Current Events > I think I figured out why I'm getting so much tartar on my teeth

(+) Yeah! (+)

I started drinking nutritional drinks because I've been dealing with a health problem since 2021.

Despite brushing, the tartar is building up extremely quickly and thick. Dentist kept saying I wasn't brushing and flossing good enough. Wanted me to come in every 3 months and an expensive deep cleaning. 6 months since my last visit and the tartar is so bad. I'm afraid of getting a lecture again.

I researched tartar last week and found this:
"Chemically, tartar is made of calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and magnesium phosphate."

Guess what is in my nutritional drinks? Calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate. My theory is that I've been accelerating the build up like crazy.
