- Indeed, it's tartar. I admit to having used the term loosely in my writing, because tartar is hardened plaque.

- Nowhere have I said I never went to the dentist. I just have no need to go for cleaning every 5-6 months anymore, whereas I used to be obligated because the tartar was so bad. Whenever I do go for a checkup, the dentist confirms there is no tartar. When I stopped needing cleaning he asked me what I had changed, and I mentioned vitamin K2. He wasn't aware of its dental benefits, but has since looked it up so he knows what I've been doing.

edit: Fixed for accuracy. Fine, I accept that plaque has not yet become tartar. You are 100% correct with regard to the semantical accuracy of my usage of the word "plaque" instead of tartar, but you have not falsified anything.

edit #2: Removed unnecessarily defensive parts.
