Plaque initially has a soft consistency and can be removed with proper regular brushing. If left, it gradually becomes colonized by microbes, increases in quantity and density, acquires a harder consistency and eventually forms the so-called tartar (or calculus). Tartar, once formed, can only be removed by the dentist.

Gingivitis comes from poor oral hygiene: Dental plaque that is not completely removed due to poor oral hygiene is colonized by bacteria. In a first stage, inflammation of the gums (red gums), in a second stage: bleeding gums (mainly during contact with the toothbrush). Finally, the presence of bacteria leads to infection.
