Are these normal teeth?

This is my 6 year old boar Sparky. I recently lost his friend due to dental problems and Sparky has had to have his back molars shaved before (he was awake not sedated) and I am just wondering about his teeth. Is this buildup of stuff normal? Just because my other boys have white teeth with no buildup, and before Jamie passed his teeth looked a little bit like this too (just a bit worse). Sorry the picture is blurry. It is very hard to take a picture and show his teeth by myself. I also noticed that his 2 bottom teeth aren't the same length and don't seem to match up properly.

Usually by the time you see uneven wear in the front incisors, the back molars are more out of kilter. I would get him checked out, especially if he already has an issue with his teeth in the past.
 
ENny update? <3
