Dental check up?

I got a scale and polish at the dentist on Monday the 14th. So a little over two weeks ago.

I brush my teeth every morning and night. I floss at night. Brushing my teeth at night can be a 10 minute job for me.

I'm drinking loads of water. I started taking probiotics. Just in case there is bad bacteria in my mouth. I reduced sugars in my diet and very recently decided to go low carb/high fat with a diet - reducing as much sugar as possible.

Looking in the mirror tonight, on my lower teeth, on the inside of my teeth, on one tooth - I noticed a thin line of white at the gumline. I suspect that could be tartar. I could be wrong though.

The dentist said he would like to see me back in 6 months at my last appointment.

Probiotics won't tackle oral bacteria. Have you tried brushing that area?

Yes, I brush morning and night.

I brushed my teeth there earlier before bed and paid particular attention to that area. The line is still there.
