A water flosser does nothing against calculus. I use one myself and it’s a nice feeling but for calculus you need real floss picks and brute force.

    I thought the only way to get rid of tartar is by using specialized dentist tools?

    No you can scratch it off with those metal base brush sticks that you stick through the openings between your teeth. It’s not perfect but if you do it regularly it helps A LOT. The dentist will have to clean up the trickier parts though (like the inside/back surfaces).
