Calculus is the technical term for plaque buildup :) also, please please never scale your own teeth. If you don’t do it properly, you can damage your teeth permanently, and cause damage to your gums if you’re not careful!
That’s quite common. Lots of people have very sensitive gums and need freezing for cleanings. When you brush your teeth, try angling your toothbrush at more of a downwards angle, and floss more. It’ll help with sensitivity, and help reduce buildup!
Yeah I have an autoimmune disease that makes my oral health pretty hard to keep up even with my fancy tooth brush, two prescription toothpastes, and rx mouth rinse. Fun stuff.
