generally dry mouth is not becoz of thyroid.can b becoz of less intake of water.
yellow deposits in teeth are called calculus which needs to be removed with professional cleaning.
check your acidity also,as gastic biles or acids which regurgitate in the mouth causing bad smell,make sure ur bowel movements r also fine as intestines have a direct relation with the gums.
overall body health including factors like acidity,food intake,water intake n condition of teeth n gums affect the oral cavity n can lead to bad breadth

Bad breath is usually due to poor oral hygiene. So visit a dentist soon to get your teeth cleaned. Also keep a check that you don’t sleep with open mouth as it might add to dryness in the mouth
