Plaque or tartar? In the lower teeth?

Poor oral hygiene!!! Go for scaling and polishing

There is plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth, which can contribute to the rough feeling on the inner side of your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth throughout the day, and if not properly removed, it can harden into tartar, which is a calcified deposit. Tartar cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing alone and requires professional cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. While it's important to visit your dentist in India for a thorough cleaning, there are steps you can take at home to help manage the plaque and tartar buildup in the meantime: Brushing technique: Ensure you're using a soft-bristled toothbrush and brushing your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time. Use gentle, circular motions and pay attention to all surfaces of your teeth, including the inner side. Flossing: Floss daily to remove plaque and debris from between your teeth and along the gumline. This helps prevent tartar formation in these hard-to-reach areas. Mouthwash: Consider using an antibacterial mouthwash after brushing and flossing to further reduce bacteria in your mouth. Look for a mouthwash that contains fluoride to help strengthen your teeth. Tartar control toothpaste: Look for toothpaste specifically formulated to control tartar. These toothpastes often contain ingredients like pyrophosphates that help prevent tartar buildup. Maintain a healthy diet: Limit sugary and starchy foods as they contribute to plaque formation. Instead, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help wash away food particles and bacteria. It's important to note that while these measures can help manage plaque and tartar to some extent, professional cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist is essential for thorough removal. So, when you have the opportunity to visit India, make sure to schedule a dental cleaning appointment. Remember, maintaining good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups are key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

Hi, In the picture I can see a combination of plaque, calculus and stains on your teeth.
