Hello
The picture that you have attached is a bit unclear but if you see or experience tartar formation on your teeth that means some gum infection or gingivitis has started. It is the time to visit your dentist and get a round of teeth cleaning done. Because it will ultimately progress and you will start having sensitivity in your teeth or bleeding while brushing.
Next Steps
Kindly visit your dentist and get a proper examination and treatment done.

Take care
