It is made from bacteria, proteins, and minerals from saliva and gum fluid that harden over time. tartar most often builds up near the gumline and between teeth, and it can also form below the gums. It is commonly discussed in dental cleanings, periodontal (gum) care, and cavity-risk assessments."}
