Hello,
Everyone builds up daily plaque that you should remove with good dental hygiene. Your diet, health, habits and medications contribute to the composition. Smoking, coffee and tea are examples of stain causing culprits. If you are not effective in getting your teeth clean, consider a professional cleaning. Consider changing dental product choices.
Have a complete dental exam. I suspect a tooth with decay and the hole builds up with debris. Some bacteria can cause discoloration on your teeth as well. Your dentist can check for this and any oral infections present. Have you had a recent dental check up? Think of any recent changes that you can attribute to the timing of the build up. A dry mouth or gastric and sinus disorders can influence your mouth.
Thank you for your inquiry.

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The brown stuff when spit could be because of the debris over the teeth or bleeding from gums or even pus discharge.
consult a oral physician to rule out any tooth or gum infection producing pus or bleeding gums. If there is tooth infection get it restored. if there is a gum infection get your teeth cleaned once and maintain the oral hygiene after that. you can use mouth washes. i hope my answer will help you. take care
