The stains on your teeth suggest tobacco use. If you are worried about cancer, the first step would be to stop tobacco, masala, soorti, supari, paan, slaked lime or whatever else it is that you take.
Start a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and salads. They provide micronutrients in a very effective and inexpensive manner.
As for the scar in your mouth and the lump that you can feel, it is better to consult in OPD.
