Introduction
In general, when a thick white tongue coating with tooth marks is related to spleen and stomach deficiency, Jianpi Pills may be effective. However, if it is not caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, this treatment may not be appropriate, and medication should be taken strictly as directed by a physician. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, patients should avoid excessively cold or greasy foods and ensure adequate sleep.

Generally, thick white tongue coating with tooth marks can be treated with Jianpi Pills when it is related to spleen and stomach deficiency. However, if it is not caused by spleen and stomach weakness, Jianpi Pills are usually ineffective, and medication should be taken strictly under medical guidance. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive treatment under the supervision of a physician. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Jianpi Pills are a traditional Chinese medicine composed of Codonopsis pilosula, fried Atractylodes macrocephala, Citrus reticulata peel,枳实 (Fructus Aurantii), fried hawthorn, and fried barley sprout. They have the function of strengthening the spleen and stimulating digestion, primarily used for conditions such as spleen and stomach deficiency, abdominal distension, poor appetite, and loose stools. When spleen and stomach deficiency exists, it may lead to thick white tongue coating with tooth marks. In such cases, taking Jianpi Pills as directed by a doctor can improve symptoms of indigestion and loss of appetite caused by spleen and stomach weakness, thereby helping to alleviate the thick tongue coating and tooth marks.

If thick white tongue coating with tooth marks is unrelated to spleen and stomach deficiency, Jianpi Pills should not be used. Taking the medication in such cases will not improve symptoms and may instead cause side effects, such as nausea and vomiting.

During treatment, patients should avoid consuming excessively cold or greasy foods, maintain sufficient sleep, and engage in appropriate physical exercise to promote recovery of spleen and stomach function.
