Answers:
Everyone apart from a small percentage get tartar at the back or there lower front teeth, this is because you have salivary ducs there that pump out your saliva which contains minerals, it then attatches to the sticky film which produces on your teeth which turns to plaque and then goes hard to tartar!. you can also get this on your upper 6 teeth because you have saliva ducts there on your cheek side!.
Your bit of gum is inflamed because its unhealthy!. when you clean you teeth make sure you clean at you gum line, if it bleeds, ignore it! just keep cleaning it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had some sort of gum surgery and cleaning and luckily it's all good now, so !.!.!. just go :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh my gosh, me too!. I am so scared of the dentist, and the smell makes me want to faint!. I always am petrified I'll get a cavity, but I don't!. Well, so far!
Don't worry, as long as you brush daily and floss, you'll be fine!. Also, I have the same thing with my gums sometimes!. It goes away fast!.
GOOD LUCK!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will have your teeth cleaned by the hygienist,then you will be given advice on your dental hygiene!.You feel nothing at the dentists these days,its only afterwards after extractions etc!.Do not worry,your mouth is sparkling compared to some of the things they see!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
