What Causes Greenish Accumulation On The Gums?

My husband has green hard stuff on his gums that he has had for a few months now. Wondering if this is a sign of gum disease cause he is also bleeding very easily from his gums as well. He also was told almost a year ago that he has gingivitis. But I'm not sure if now it's grown to gum disease because of the green hard stuff on his lower gums. Should he go to the dentist asap? ! Is it curable? What should he start doing now to help it ? Thank you.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Signs and symptoms mentioned suggests chronic gingivitis , which usually presents with bleeding of gums while brushing , hard deposits with stains , bad breath and many others.(green deposits are calculus with stains)

I would advice you to visit your local dentist at the earlier and have his teeth professionally cleaned . Check for any infections .Follow the post instructions by using proper method of brushing and maintaining a good oral hygiene.

Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
