Are these cavities?
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 .
