- use a soft toothbrush -- and brush properly! brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day and after meals. Hard brushing can further damage the soft tissues of your mouth.
- floss at least once a day and be sure to floss beyond the gum line to remove more plaque.
- control bleeding by applying pressure to the area with a cold compress. - rinse with salt water or hydrogen peroxide to keep the area clean. Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol, which can dry out your mouth.

Dear Lybrate user, deposition of plaque and calculus on teeth results in yellow/brownish layer. Toothpaste can not remove this hardened layer. You have to visit your dentist for oral prophylaxis/ Scaling procedure and then follow tooth brushing technique recommended by him.
For more info you can contact us through private consultation on Lybrate.

By using a wire/inter-dental brush gently clean in-between all teeth to get the plaque and food particles off at least once a day.
It is very important to keep the mouth free from plaque.

It seems an oral prophylaxis has to be done in your case so kindly do visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and do a thorough dental check-up. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner.

Hi lybrate-user. It is not possible to whiten teeth by toothpaste. If you are impressed by the advertisement then they are all schemes. Nothing more.
You have to do scaling and polishing by a dentist. And then use homoeopathic toothpaste
