A member asked:
I have a constant tartar buildup behind bottom front teeth, what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hardened Plaque: And plaque is composed of bacterial colonies. Brush and floss correctly and frequently and you will minimize the build-up. Smoking doesn't help the situation. A dentist is needed to remove the calculus.
