Plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens to create calculus (also known as tartar). Calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush; only a dental professional can remove it during an oral cleaning. There are certain mineral combos those are used for cleaning teeth effectively but can not clean to the extent of removing thick tartar or stone.
