Increase in plaque in teeth
I went to dentist for my teeth checkup due to sensitivity and pain in June mid they told it's periodontitis stage 2 and would require scaling. Since due to lockdown and covid dentist are not doing scaling and provided me medicine for relief.
Now I see the back teeth plaque is increasing rapidly and also my gums seems to inflamed and coming over teeth near wisdom teeths. Sometime I feel little discomfort and using gargle with salt water and brushing 2 times daily for 2 months.
Please let me know why it has increased so rapidly and how we can control it as the medical facilities seems not likely to open in coming couple of months.

Get Scaling done. Not to worry about if it's delayed for sometime.
Mouthwash : clohex plus or orahexpro
Once in every 2 days, after meal, 5-10 drops maximum in your mouth, hold for next 2-3 minutes, mouth will salivate automatically once mouthwash is held in mouth (so no need of external dilution with water) spit out and do not eat drink anything or rinse mouth for next 15-20 minutes. And brush off teeth thoroughly after 20 minutes.

Just need a Scaling ,get it done later.
I would advise you medicines that would help you with the swollen gingiva (gingivitis) and for the partially impacted third molar.
