hhmmm not sure what it is!. but if you went to the dentist, he should of told you something about it!. if there was nothin wrong with it then he would of just said that it is ok, just make sure you brush really good there to get it off and if it comes back again do the same thing!. but if he didnt do anything about it and there is something wrong, then talk to him about it next appointment!. i dont know why he wouldnt of said anything to you before?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You might want to pay closer attention to brushing that part longer!. In the meantime you should try a different dentist!. I have had problems like that in the past but I was told that if I didn't brush that area better I would lose my teeth!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

ask to set up an appointment with your dentist and tell him your concernsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Buddy, what you are referring to is called 'CALCULUS' or Tartatr in laymans term!. When yoy don't brush your teeth properly, the plaque calcifies to a hard mass called calculus!. This hard deposit irritates the gums so they recede down to protect themselves, which results in bone loss >> loosening >> fall of teeth!. What are you waiting for, immmediately visit a dentist and get Scaling (cleaning done)
The reason why you have heavy deposits on backside of the lower front teeth is that the duct of the salivary gland opens just behind the lower front teeth so there is a greater tartatr there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
