Do not worry: Give the office a call and explain your concerns. It will take but just a few minutes to remove any stains or calculus that you see.

Talk to your dentist: Gingivitis, which starts with built-up plaque, is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Simply bring it to the dentist's attention by calling the office. The dentist should be able to address your issue and resolve your issue quickly.
