Term: Salivary Calculus

Part of Speech: Noun

Definition: Salivary calculus, also known as tartar or dental calculus, is a hard, calcified deposit that forms on teeth and dental appliances due to the mineralization of dental plaque.

Example Sentences:

1. After neglecting proper dental care for years, the patient's teeth were covered in salivary calculus, which required a deep cleaning procedure.

2. Regular flossing and brushing can help prevent the accumulation of salivary calculus on the teeth's surfaces.
