Dental raspators, also called scrapers, are dental tools used to remove tartar, bacterial plaque, and deposits from tooth surfaces and interdental spaces. Raspators have sharpened ends that enable effective and precise removal of coating and scale.

Raspators can come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on their use. Some models have longer and thinner tips that are more effective in removing scale from hard-to-reach places in the mouth. Other models have rounded tips that allow you to more gently clean the surfaces of your teeth and gums.

During a visit to the dentist, raspators are used as one of the basic tools for removing tartar and deposits from tooth surfaces. Regular removal of coating and scale is important for oral health because it prevents periodontal diseases and dental diseases.
