Frequent tartar buildup on one tooth.
My second lower molar is getting tartar buildup again and again. What could be the reason for this? I have severe pain on this gum for 2+ years. I asked for root canal but dentist denied it. What should I do to avoid this pain and tartar buildup? Severe pain in the gum of this molar and near the wisdom tooth region. Wisdom tooth was taken out ten years ago. Have head deep cleaning twice in the last 10 months. Recent SRP was last month. Picture taken before SRP. Today I saw the dentist for severe pain in 47 gum. It's painful at the buccal and distal side of the gums. He said he see some tartar buildup on the gums and scraped it out. It's only after one month after SRP, how tartar buildup form on that again so sooner? I have severe pain in that gum and lower jaw near ear area for 3 years now. I extracted 46 only because of same reason as it was painful but nothing seen on xrays and cbct scans. Now this 47 gum hurts severe and bad tartar buildup again and again. reason for this?

Tartar buildup and recurring pain in the gum area can be influenced by several factors. Here are a few possibilities to consider: Inadequate oral hygiene: Insufficient brushing and flossing can contribute to the buildup of plaque, which can harden into tartar over time. Make sure you're following a thorough oral hygiene routine, including brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily. Misaligned teeth or dental anatomy: Teeth that are crowded or have irregular surfaces can make it more difficult to effectively clean all areas, leading to a higher risk of tartar buildup. Consulting with an orthodontist or dentist about your dental alignment may be beneficial. Diet and lifestyle habits: Consuming a diet high in sugary and starchy foods can promote bacterial growth and plaque formation. Additionally, smoking or using tobacco products can increase the risk of gum problems and tartar accumulation. Poor saliva flow: Saliva plays a vital role in maintaining oral health by helping to neutralize acids and wash away food particles. If you have a condition that reduces saliva flow, such as dry mouth, it can contribute to plaque and tartar buildup. Underlying dental issues: Recurring pain and tartar buildup could be related to underlying dental problems, such as deep gum pockets, gum disease, or infection. It's important to discuss your symptoms and concerns with a dentist or periodontist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. Since you mentioned experiencing severe pain and ongoing issues, it's crucial to consult with a dental professional who can thoroughly examine your oral health, review your dental history, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. They may consider additional diagnostic tests or refer you to a specialist if necessary.

I think the tooth structure is rough because of which there’s is more debris and eventually tartar buildup . .Tartar formation leads to localised gingivitis and periodontitis leading to bone loss .It is manifested as gum swelling and pain
Next Steps
Get polishing done and make sure the tooth surface is smooth .polished surface attracts less plaque .
