about 2 months i notice he had brownish stuff on his mouth,looks like flakes,so i though i could be mouth root,so i bought a over counter medicine,it didnt work,,and now that im not give him anything,,the flakes dissapear but still has a brown color on teeth, i want to know if this normal?
 
Some chams seem to have browner teeth than others. But if there was stuff flaking off the teeth that's different. A rotted tooth wouldn't flake, it would most likely turn black and fall out and there would probably be swelling and redness at the root of the tooth. I don't know if chams have teeth with live roots like mammals do.
 
probably u can see the light brown on teeth

from what i understand chams dont have actual teeth. it is one big bone with a serrated edge, the teeth we see. WARNING: I could be very wrong lol.
