Tartar is hardened plaque. Plaque is the soft film on your teeth when you eat , or just get up in the morning, and you can just scrape or brush it off. Sometimes you can't get it all. After a while it turns really hard and has to be removed with an instrument called a scaler. It has sharp edges that can scrape it off safely.
