Even with excellent hygiene habits, it's easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, lingering plaque will harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist's tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the result is red, puffy, inflamed gums, indicating the beginnings of periodontal disease.
