As bacteria multiply on the tooth surface, they form a coating called plaque. The bacteria forming the plaque produce toxins which irritate the gums. In time, the plaque mineralizes and hardens, becoming what is called calculus or tartar. In response to the development of plaque and tartar, the gums become red, swollen and tender. Additionally, bacteria often get into the blood stream and infect other organs.
