Hi,
I agree with tomt804.  You need a deep cleaning and only your dentist can do this.  The plaque gets under the gumline and forms dental pockets where you cannot reach it with brush or floss.  Only a dentist can.

PLEASE do NOT put this off.  Leaving plaque below the gumline will cause gingivitis and then eventually periodontal disease.  The plaque has bacteria that eventually will dissolve the bone holding in the teeth.  You MUST get to a dentist ASAP.

Please make an appt ASAP.

GOOD LUCK and my best to you,
Gellia
