Is There Anything To Worry About The Light Pink Substance Located On Teeth?

Hi. Well I was flossing my teeth and I noticed a weird light pink thing located on one of my top teeth. It is almost like a popcorn kernel. But I have not eaten popcorn recently. I tried to get it off but it seems like it is attached to my tooth. Is it anything to worry about?

Hello and welcome.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

please try to understand this fact that the hard substance that appears to be attached to tooth surface could be calculus.(Hard calcium like deposit).

Therefore please see your dentist soon and get it removed professionally.
If left unattended for long time it will get deposited over almost all teeth surfaces.

Therefore please get it examined and treated soon.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
