.Because I still feel a little ridge around a couple teeth while flossing..i.e., not a totally smooth flossing (but maybe it's the structure of the tooth?).
Answer:
I know you actually meant calculus and yes it is a word in the dental field as well as in math. If you still feel a little ridge when flossing, chances are she didn't do a good job. You can only get this confirmed by another dentist or hygienist and report it to your dental insurance. Or you can go back to the dentist and demand the work being done properly since you probably already paid for it. You can also report them to the BBB or Dental Association.
I don't think it's the structure of the tooth. Teeth don't have any ridges in between unless there is something wrong with them like cavities. But if you're not sure get a 2nd opinion.
I think you mean Calcium? Calculus is a type of Math.
Well, it's simple. Ask the hygienist to use the oral mirror to show you where he or she has clean. Usually it is the back teeth that has hidden calculus. Hope the info helps.Regards,

If your breath smells like logarithms or sine functions she missed some.
You can also have an x-ray to show calculus/tartar build-up under the gum tissue.Our hygienist when treating patients for scaling and root-planing, will take a before and after x-ray to check her work.She wants and does a good job. Not only that, Dr. Joe checks the quality of her work during the exam.
