Teeth %26amp; Gums help?
You don%26#039;t seem naive. You should see a dentist. Plaque only takes about 12 hours to harden into tartar (AKA: calculus) and needs to be removed by a dentist or hygienist. It takes sharp steel instruments to remove it from your teeth, and cannot come off with any toothbrush known to man. Don%26#039;t worry about it. If it is tartar, it can be removed. If it is staining, it can be whitened with in office treatments or things like Crest White Strips. Good luck.
