Are these cavities?

2022-06-05 22:06:45
I felt a sensation on my upper inner gums after eating hot food so did a quick check. Does the roof of my mouth and upper inner gums look normal? Also, are those yellow center teeth having cavities? I brush twice daily, focusing on every area of the teeth so not sure why this may have happened.

These brown stain lines are just because of accumulation plaque n calculus and not caries. Visit your dentist and get it cleaned professionally with ultrasonic scalers Don't worry , it's a painless procedure and  scaling would help in your sensitivity problem too .
