Tartar (Calculus)

Severe Tartar Buildup on Lower Front Teeth: Gum Inflammation, Treatment, 14-Day Healing Timeline & Risk of Progression

Severity: 

This is a clinical photo rather than an X-ray, so I can assess visible plaque/calculus, gum appearance, tooth alignment, and staining, but I cannot determine bone loss or periodontal pocket depth from the photo alone.

Main finding

The most obvious issue is substantial calculus (tartar) accumulation on the lower front teeth, particularly around the lingual/cervical surfaces. There is also visible gingival redness/inflammation.

The lower incisors appear crowded/rotated, which can make plaque and calculus much easier to accumulate.
