Dental calculus is deposited on the tooth surface has been calcified or is calcified plaque and sediments, which provides a good environment for bacteria to adhere to, will continue to stimulate the gums. Plaque is composed of a large number of bacteria, intercellular substances, a small number of white blood cells, exfoliated epithelial cells and food debris, etc., is the initiating factor causing gingivitis. Food impaction, if left untreated for a long time, can oppress gums, causing gum damage and inflammation. Problems such as the edge of bad prostheses are not close together can also stimulate gums.
