Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, nsensan mu ntini yɛ sini a ɛyɛ nnam, a mmoawa de ba a ɛba yɛn sẽ so. Yiw, woate saa asɛm no yiye, mmoawa! Ɛyɛ ade a ɛfata sɛ eyi bɛhyehyɛ.

"Okay, enti saa plaque yi te sɛn wɔ wo sẽ so?" ebia woresusuw ho. Nokwarem no, plaque no nni kɔla biara. Ɛno kyerɛ sɛ enni kɔla biara. Nanso ɛtɔ mmere bi a, aduan mu nneɛma nketenkete betumi abata saa aduru yi ho, na ama wo sẽ ayɛ te sɛ nea kɔla asesa.

So ‘Plaque’ ne ‘Tartar’ yɛ ade koro?

Yiw, saa abien yi yɛ soronko kakra. ‘Tartar’ yɛ nsensan mu ntini a aboaboa ano wɔ sẽ no so bere tenten na ayɛ den abɛyɛ ɔbo a ɛyɛ den. Nnipa binom nso frɛ no "dental calculus." Nnuruyɛfo nso frɛ no "dental calculus."

Ebia mfiase no na Tartar yɛ kɔla a ɛyɛ kɔkɔɔ-fitaa. Nanso, bere kɔ so no, ebetumi asesa ne kɔla a egyina nea wudi ne nea wonom so. Nhwɛsoɔ:
