At the base of the teeth is where plaque and tartar can accumulate!. The gum inflammation causes a periodontal pocket to develop between teeth and gums, thus filling it with tartar and plaque!. Swollen gums trap the plaque in the periodontal pocket!. When the gum inflammation is left to continue, it will eventually cause destruction of the tissues and the bone that surround the tooth!. And because the plaque contains bacteria, gum infection is likely to occur and tooth abscess may also develop, increasing the rate of bone destruction!. Symptoms of gum disease may include: swollen gums, gums appear to be shiny, red, bright red or red-purple, gums bleed easily, gums are tender and painless, persistent bad breath and loose teeth!. Being aware of these conditions can help reduce swollen gums and prevent gum disease!.
Adhering to good oral hygiene can offer loads of benefits like healthy teeth and gums providing you with healthy smile and good overall health!. If you experience changes in oral health, keep your dentist informed!.

You don't want to take a chance with your teeth, you may want to do it!. In the future, floss regularly and use a flouride mouth rinse and brush regularly!. I'm not saying you do not do that at all now, but brush after every meal and use flouride often and floss after every meal too!. I had my dentist tell me the same thing, although he did not recommend a deep cleaning!. He just told me to do what I just told you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tartar, or calculus is when soft plaque (bacteria) deposits become mineralized and harden!. Unfortunately, once its hardened, its not possible for us to remove it on our own which is why professional cleaning is important!.
