Teeth crumbling with red spots (which may indicate deep decay or nerve exposure, such as internal resorption) require urgent evaluation by a dentist. There are no over-the-counter medicines or supplements that can rebuild crumbling teeth. You need a professional clinical exam and X-rays to determine if you need crowns, root canals, or fillings. To manage symptoms until your appointment, use a high-fluoride toothpaste or a remineralizing paste containing hydroxyapatite to protect the remaining enamel. Rinse with an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash to prevent infection, and strictly avoid acidic, sugary, or hard foods. Please schedule a dental visit immediately.

There is no specific prescription medication to dissolve tonsil stones, but you can easily remove and prevent them using basic products. First, gargle vigorously with warm salt water or an alcohol-free mouthwash to help loosen them. To physically remove visible stones, you can gently dislodge them using a clean, damp cotton swab or a water flosser on its lowest, gentlest pressure setting. Never use sharp objects like toothpicks or bobby pins, as they can cause injury and infection. Brushing your teeth and tongue twice daily also prevents recurrence. If they are painful or difficult to remove, please see an ENT specialist.
