Accumulation of plaque and calculus leads to swelling of gums , bleeding and inflammation. When left untreated over long periods of time,the teeth tend to become weak and you can experience bad mouth odor too.
The treatment for this is a thorough dental scaling.You can also use chlorhexidine mouthwash to decrease the bacterial count and proper brushing technique as an adjunct.
Next Steps
visit a dental clinic for scaling at the earliest to get rid of the plaque and/ or calculus accumulation.
Health Tips
get a dental checkup done once in 6 months. change your tooth brush once in 3 months.
