Hello Lybrate user, over the period of time thin layer of food gets deposited on our tooth surfce. Gradually it becomes hard, and it is not possible to remove them with brush only. So visit a nearby dentist, im sure by looking at the condition of your teeth and gums he or she will suggest you to undergo scaling which is actually mechanical cleansing of tooth surface with an ultrasonic instrument. Continue brushing proprly twice a day, use a mouthwash, foul smell and the condition of your gums will improve.
