hi there,
Plaque is a sticky, soft build up over the teeth, it contains bacteria which can cause numerous dental issues including gum problems and decay. if plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens over a period of time to become calculus also called tartar. Now this calculus cannot be removed by brushing so you need a professional help for that. it is very normal for everyone to have plaque and calculus, but to keep it under control you need to brush twice daily and visit your dentist every 6 months for keeping a check on areas which you are nor able to clean by your regular brushing, again its common for most of us.
Before entering a clinic a dentist expects that the patient has brushed their teeth thoroughly, after-all who likes to smell biryani from someone else's mouth(lol).
Next Steps
visit your dentist asap, also make a habit of visiting dentist every 6 months, whatever you eat goes through your mouth so keeping it clean is a wonderful idea
Health Tips
make sure you brush your teeth twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste, flossing is must at-least once daily, also using mouthwash once daily is a good idea
