Hello there,
Thanks for writing your query.
Plaque is soft deposits on the teeth surface and prosthesis in the oral cavity,if not removed become mineralised and hard known as calculus.
Lower incisors and upper 1st molars are the most common site of plaque deposition.
Calculus can not be removed by brushing,so i would suggest you visit a dentist in your area and get the thorough scaling and polishing done at the earliest otherwise it will results in gingivitis in which inflammation of gums and in severe cases bleeding also present.
Hope this will be helpful.
Take care.

hello
what you descibe is called calculus which is mineralized plaque and most common site for plaque and calculus deposition is lingual suraface of lower incisors and palatal surface of upper molars
now let me inform you that removal of calculus is not possible with brushing
so what i would suggest is that you pay a visit to your dentist and get scaling and currettage done
in the mean while you can do a lot of luke warm saline rinses which will make your gums healthy
hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Plague are thin depositions that tenaciously adhere to the tooth surface if not removed can undergo calcification to form calculus.
Lower front teeth are most favourable site to form calculus which cannot be removed by regular brushing.
I would suggest you to visit to the Dentist and get complete mouth scaling and polishing done
Develop a habit of brushing teeth twice daily.
Use antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope this helps out,
Regards...

Hi shanmugam,
Welcome to HCM.
Removing dental plaque is not easy without proper instruments. If you attempt to remove them you may damage your gum.
Consult a dental surgeon. They can easily remove all plaques and clean your teeth.
After that use good toothpaste such as "Colgate Total" which retards plaque formation, and brush your teeth twice daily, in correct manner.
