Suggest Medication For Tooth Cavity
Hi
I m 26 years old â?¦brush twice dailyâ?¦still have cavity problem and had to undergo rootcanals for 4-5 teeths. Once had also to undergo re root canal but could not save 1 tooth and had to extract it. Also my teeth are brittleâ?¦and chip off easilyâ?¦.
Can you also suggest some tablets / calcium tablets which will strengthen my teeth?

Thank you for your query,
After reading your questions I would like to suggest some points,
1. I hope you are not taking any medication. Sometimes due to medication the saliva quality changes which leads to sticking of food which is generally washed away by saliva. Never the less you can go for saliva test to ascertain the quality.
2. Brushing twice daily is a very good habit, I would like you to take tips from your Dentist on HOW to brush. Sometimes we think we are brushing the right way but we do not. The Dentist will observe your brushing movements and will suggest accordingly.
3. You can use fluoride tooth paste, which will take care of your cavities.
4. You can take Tab.Shellcal, for Ca requirements.
