I’m back from my dentist because I had a lot of tartar buildup. I’m drinking hot tea from a thermos everyday with lemon and sweetener tablets (5tablets with 1l tea). The water at my home is very soft – my 4 years old kettle is clean inside. So I’m thinking the sweetener may be the cause – it dissolves in warm water but when the water cools down when I’m drinking it then it goes back to solid form and causes the tartar buildup. I tried to google for the answer but I can’t find anything about it.

Tartar is hardened dental plaque, and plaque is a biofilm of bacteria that feed on the sugars in your mouth. It’s unlikely that the artificial sweetener has anything to do with the tartar buildup on your teeth.
