When they were introduced years ago, tartar-control toothpastes caused a sensation in the market owing to their alleged ability to prevent gum disease. But the question remains: do these products realty work or are they just an advertising gimmick?

First of all, what is tartar? This chalky, hard sub­stance which your dentist calls calculus is a product of minerals in your saliva and plaque - a sticky material that clings to the surface of the teeth. As plaque accumulates, it hardens to form tartar which irritates the gums and can make you susceptible to periodontal disease.
