Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

The hard deposits as been mentioned can be calculus if present between the teeth and after removal ,it is the inter-tooth space which should be normally covered by the healthy gums.

I would advice you to visit your periodontist and get your teeth cleaned and have it checked if there is any decay .If decayed ,get it filled.

Use chlorhexidine mouth was after cleaning the teeth and brush properly with the correct method of brushing.

The pain in the neck could be due the spasm in the neck muscles (usually spondilitis) which needs reviewed by your general physician.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
