“My gums have started to come back and reattach to my teeth – something a dentist will tell you is impossible!”
– Sarah, TartarEnd® user
Like many adults, Sarah had been struggling with severe gum recession from years of smoking and dental anxiety. Even though she tried to care for her teeth, she couldn’t stop the tartar buildup happening below the gum line – and her dentist had no solution that didn’t involve pain, expense, and scraping.
After just 10 weeks of using TartarEnd®, everything changed. Her gums stopped bleeding. Her teeth became less sensitive. And the gaps between her gums and teeth began to close.
So what made the difference?
A powerful but little-known ingredient: Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI).
What Is Dimethyl Isosorbide?
Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) is a safe, cosmetic-grade solvent that penetrates hardened tartar and plaque – where toothbrushes and floss can’t reach.
It’s not new. It’s been around since the 1960s and used in pharmaceutical and skincare products. But in TartarEnd®, it plays a transformative role when combined with sodium chlorite: softening tartar so it can be brushed away without scraping.
How DMI Helps Dissolve Hardened Tartar
Tartar is formed when minerals in saliva combine with sticky bacterial plaque. Over time, it hardens into a cement-like layer that traditional toothpaste can’t touch.
Here’s how DMI works:
- Rehydrates hard tartar by penetrating the water-insoluble matrix
- Softens the structure so water and other ingredients can break it down
- Prepares it for removal during normal brushing – especially with a sonic toothbrush
When paired with sodium chlorite and water, the effect is fast. In just 2 minutes of brushing, DMI helps break tartar into fragments that float away as a colloidal suspension – no abrasives, no scraping.
Why Traditional Toothpastes Can’t Do This
Big-brand toothpastes rely on:
- Pyrophosphates to slow tartar buildup (but they don’t dissolve what’s already there).
- Abrasives to polish surface stains (and wear away enamel). Any abrasive that will remove tartar will also remove tooth enamel.
- Antibacterials destroy bacteria , both good and bad, but they rapidly rinse away. Antibacterial do not stop tartar buildup.
These methods might help delay tartar buildup, but they can’t reverse it. DMI and sodium chlorite, on the other hand, directly targets the hardened glue that holds tartar together – and softens it from within.
Real-World Results: What Sarah’s Story Shows Us
Sarah isn’t alone. Many TartarEnd users report similar benefits:
- Receding gums slowing – or even reversing
- Teeth feeling tighter in their sockets
- Pain-free, blood-free brushing and flossing
- Returning to 6-month cleanings instead of 3-month deep cleanings
And the common thread in all these outcomes? Softened tartar removed consistently
Frequently Asked Questions
What dissolves tartar quickly?
TartarEnd® uses a patented formula with Dimethyl Isosorbide and chlorine dioxide ( sodium chlorite ) to soften and dissolve tartar within a standard 2-minute brushing cycle. Traditional methods can’t achieve this effect without scraping.
Can gums grow back after tartar removal?
Technically, gums don’t “grow back” – but when tartar is removed and inflammation reduced, gums can reattach to clean tooth surfaces, which may feel like regrowth. Sarah’s experience is a real-world example.
Is there a mouthwash that dissolves tartar?
No commercial mouthwash is clinically proven to dissolve hardened tartar. TartarEnd®’s approach combines DMI and brushing action, which is key to results.
How long does it take to see results?
Most users report noticeable improvements within 2 to 6 weeks, with major gains after 3 months of twice-daily use.
Is DMI safe in toothpaste?
Yes. DMI is used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products with a strong safety track record. TartarEnd® uses it in clinically supported concentrations.
Final Thoughts
For years, removing tartar meant painful scaling, deep cleanings, and dentist visits many people avoid. TartarEnd® and Dimethyl Isosorbide are changing that – offering a real solution that works at home, gently, and effectively.
Sarah’s story isn’t a fluke. It’s what happens when science finally catches up to a problem millions quietly endure.
