MICKEY,
HARD TARTAR, ALSO CALLED CALCULUS, SHOULD BE REMOVED USING AN ULTRASONIC INSTRUMENT BY YOUR DENTIST. CERTAIN SONIC TOOTHBRUSHES ARE USEFUL FOR REMOVING SOFT STICKY PLAQUE (BACTERIA) FROM THE TOOTH SURFACE, BUT ARE INEFFECTIVE FOR HARD TARTAR. THE DENTIST MAY ALSO USE SPECIAL MANUAL INSTRUMENTS FOR THIS WORK.

No, I use a dental pick.
