Tartar and discolouration
Several grayish black discolouration inside the mouth in the areas of upper jaw and inside the cheeks. Tartar formation on the left side of the jaws in the teeth . Can you please tell the reason for the discolouration and patches formed as well as the tartar and the treatment for the following? Is this discolouration a sign of some other disease like some oral cancer and all? while i've googled this i found that the discolouration may be due to oral cancer or can be a symptom of oral cancer; though i only have the grayish black discolouration or pigmentation. I don't smoke neither do i chew tobacoo. I only drink lemon tea and coffee. I would like to know why this happened and the reason behind it if i don't smoke r chew tobacco.

There is nothing to worry at all. Pls don't Google with your symptoms. It might come up with absurd results. And regarding tartar u can consult your family dentist for Treatment options. Dnt wry for the patches. It can be corrected easily.
