Tartar buildup and Bleeding loose gum
Hey y'all,
Just a small question. I am attaching a photo in which you can see the bottom of my front teeth. For at least 3-4 years I have been seeing slow tartar buildup. I never thought too much of it cos it wasn't that much early. I used to remove the tartar building up with my brush but some of it is too hardened to be removed. Recently I have noticed it has increased a lot. On the tooth beside it too and the teeth above it as well. There's also a gum that I have very clearly marked that looks red. My gums usually have that whitish and pigmented colour, but that area is just red. That gum specifically is also very loose. Feels detached from the teeth and bleeds randomly sometimes and stops. If it's okay can you also tell me what procedures are needed here and what this could be? Also if you see anything bizarre or unusual in the photo please let me know.
Thanks.

Don't worry all you need is a professional cleaning of teeth and gums at a dental clinic. Professional cleaning is required to everyone for atleast once in a year . All those tartar , bleeding gums and redness would go away few days after you have a professional cleaning.

Hello
The gums have inflammation due the tartar built up
For this you will have to get cleaning/scaling done.
So basically we use high pressure water to remove the debris and once it's cleaned automatically your gums will heal.
Once a year it is advised to get cleaning done so that gums health is maintained.
