This is called calculus. Calculus is hardened plaque that forms on the gum margin as is seen in the picture uploaded. The gum as described is swollen and bleeding , that means there is high bacterial action in the gum region. This occurs due to neglected oral hygiene; incorrect brushing technique, brushing in hurry often does not allow the brush to reach the posterior teeth.
Next Steps
Visit your nearest dental clinic and get a complete oral prophylaxis done.
Health Tips
1. Practice proper brushing 2. Maintain good oral hygiene 3. Use mouth wash 4. Squish your mouth with water after every meal. This helps in removing stuck food particles in between teeth thus preventing plaque and calculus formation 5. Incorporate Vitamin C for improved gum health.
