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.
Next Steps
get scaling and polishing of teeth from dentist.

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

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
