Black Tartar & Cheek Pain
Two issues -
i) Black tartar on my teeth - no pain as such.
ii) Sometimes feel the pain in my cheeks. I get a sensation to bite my cheeks. This sometimes lead to headache as well.
Am not sure if both of them are linked, looking forward for suggestion on what i should do about black tartar & pain in the cheeks

Tarter develops as your deposits on your teeth get calcified. It contains a millions of bacterias and other microorganisms which releases a lot of toxins, chemicals and acids. Which can cause bleeding gums, swelling in gums, bad breath, cavities. Eventually gums loose its support leading to bone loss and loosening of teeth.
Pain in cheeks may be bcoz of eruption of your wisdom tooth. Get it evaluated with the help of a X-ray.
Next Steps
Get yourself a teeth cleaning done. Deep cleaning and polishing by a periodontist will help.
