How To Treat Calculus In Teeth?
Im 23 years old and my bottom set of teeth seem to be rotting around the gumline and I m not sure if I have calculus. Today I had one tooth rott off at the bottom around the gumline. I brush my teeth regularly about 2-3 times a day so i dont understand why this is happening to me. I need to find a Dentist in my area that will help me out because my health plan doesn t cover dental and honestly I m living paycheck to paycheck as it is but willing to make payments. In the meantime though I m afraid to eat because I don t want anything stuck in there where it rotted.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The deposits on the teeth can be calculus, or it can be decayed tooth also. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get the teeth cleaned.
The most common causes for food lodgement even after brushing teeth can be your improper technique, mal aligned teeth, gap between teeth. So rule out all these things and get scaling and root planing done. Avoid in between eating, sweets before going to bed. Rinse your mouth soon after eating anything, you can use dental floss. Regarding your financial aspect, go to a educational dental institute and get it done, there they will do free of cost or with nominal price.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
