Tonsil stone: is very common condition. Tonsil stones are collagen, mucus and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. Many small tonsil stones do not cause any noticeable symptoms. The larger stones can have a major symptoms like a constant bad breath, sore throat and earache. Remove the stone with Waterpik. If concerned see ENT.

Spots/lines: Glad you're brushing. Make sure to floss daily for your baby's heart's sake. Spots and lines will have to be seen to be diagnosed. Ask your Dentist, your General Physician, an ENT, or your OBGyn to have a look.
