Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils.
The debris, which can include food particles and mucus from post nasal drip, putrefies in the back of your throat and collects in the tonsil crypts which are small pockets on the surface of your tonsils.
The biggest problem with tonsil stones is that when they combine with the volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria beneath the surface of your tongue, they can also cause chronic and severe bad breath.
If you do not have your tonsils then you will not, under most circumstances, experience tonsil stones. However this does not mean that you should run out and get your tonsils removed.
As we get older, tonsillectomies become increasingly dangerous. Furthermore, even if you have your tonsils removed, you will most likely still have bad breath!
Why? Well, the sulfur-producing bacteria breeding beneath the surface of your tongue, which are integral to the creation of those tonsil stones, are the real cause of your bad breath! So, even if you have your tonsils removed, unless you remove or hinder these bad-breath-causing bacteria, you might still scare away people with your bad breath!
Fortunately, curing tonsil stones does not require having your tonsils or tongue removed...
How to Cure Tonsil Stonestonsil stone removed
The key to eliminating tonsil stones is oxygenation. The bacteria and debris that cause tonsil stones will be destroyed when subjected to sufficient levels of oxygen.
A simple combination of TheraBreath Aktiv-Oxigen Serum and TheraBreath PLUS Nasal-Sinus Drops will effectively eliminate tonsil stones without unnecessary tonsil surgery. Also, the occasional use of TheraBreath Throat Spray will help to immediately neutralize the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria on contact.
If you want to prevent bad breath and tonsil stones in the future, you must use oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash and a tongue cleaner to effectively neutralize the anaerobic bacteria from the very back of the tongue. This twice daily regimen will prevent tonsil stones from forming again.
Our patients who have followed the TheraBreath recommended regimen of oxygenating products have reported great success in not only eliminating tonsil stones, but also in preventing their return. Some patients have reported results in as little as one day after begining treatment.(therabreath)
