If it has been a while since you have seen a dentist, I'd go ASAP. It sounds like what you're describing is calculus (tarter). It can't be removed by regular brushing, a hygienist/dentist has to do it for you. You should be seeing your hygienist every 6 months, sometimes more depending on your case. If what you have is actually tarter, the longer you leave it there the more problems you can have. It and plaque, can cause periodontal (gum) disease. End result is tooth loss if not taken care of. I don't think it's b/c of the toothpaste or your diet. Good luck and see your/a dentist ASAP to take care of this issue.
Reply:Do yourself a HUGE favor and see a dentist. At least then you'll know exactly where you stand and what steps to take.
