Nothing to worry about , just maintain proper oral hygiene
You require cleaning of teeth may be
1. Scaling and polishing(normal cleaning)
2. Curretage and root planning (deep cleaning)
Followed by maintenance phase till your symptoms subside
Next Steps
Visit ur dentist for clinical examination and anyways you should get your teeth cleaning on regular interval of around 6 months , it is a good practice to maintain your oral hygiene
Health Tips
Brush twice a day
Mouthwash chlorhex in 1:1 ratio(normal water:mouthwash) can be used
scaling should be done once in a year at least. so in accumulation of plaque and tartar is nothing abnormal.
It's not cancer that you can be sure of.
Pls maintain the following,
1.Make sure you follow correct brushing technique which includes proper brushing of all surfaces of teeth.
Wipe off all surfaces of teeth with soft clean cotton cloth with moderate pressure which will further smoothen the teeth surfaces, that will lead to least accumulation of microorganisms on tooth surface >> less chances of caries initiation and further food lodgement >>less accumulation of calculus/ stain formation.
2. Use dental floss for removing interdental food lodgement which doesn't come out sometimes even after brushing.
3.luke warm water salt gargle 2-3 times/day.
4.tongue cleaning thoroughly regularly and gently with plastic tongue scraper.
5.mouthwash: orahex pro or hexidine. Once in every two days. After food. take 2-3 ml directly in mouth, hold for 3-4 minutes. And spit out.Do not eat drink anything or rinse for half an hour after spitting out the mouthwash.
It wont be cancer. But visit dentist get a full mouth x ray called opg done follwed by deep sub gingival scaling. Do scaling for every 3months and maintainance of strict oral hygeine by brushing twice , using mouthmash after every meal and doing warm salt water gargling 4 to 5 times a day. The brownish saliva may be blood due bleeding while sleeping. It will only reduce by maintenance of strict oral hygeine and proper treatment by dentist
Next Steps
stolin gum paint apply on gums and massage for 2 mins before sleeping at night for 2 weeks
Health Tips
1.visit dentist as early as possible for proper removal of plaque by deep scaling
2.do warm salt wate gargling
3.use of mouth wash after every meal
