Gums and teeth : I recommend seeing a dentist to get a professional cleaning because no matter how much the crunchy apple helps you remove some of the tartar, there will still be a lot remaining under the gumline or between the teeth that you need to have removed. Otherwise, you run the risk of bone loss due to the plaque and tartar which may lead to tooth loss.

Get 'em Cleaned: Dr. Nazarian is right. You need to have a professional teeth cleaning now. With out this treatment and much better home care you risk loosing your teeth. Calculus adhering to the teeth is a hotel for the bugs and causes bone loss.
