4 Effective Ways To Remove Tonsil Stones Without Surgery
The small white spots you can see on your tonsils at the back of the throat are not called tonsil stones, and are responsible for a variety of oral problems including bad breath. Tonsil stones develop due to accumulation of bacteria, mucus, skin cells and food deposits in the tonsil holes. They are usually yellow or white in color and have a squishy texture. Tonsil stones can lead to throat infections, bad breath, difficulty swallowing and few other oral problems.
In general, people with larger tonsils and those with recurrent tonsil infections are more prone to tonsil stones. Poor oral hygiene can also lead to tonsil stones, which is why you should pay more attention to your oral health. The stones are usually removed surgically, but the procedure doesn’t guarantee that they won’t be back afterwards. There’s another problem as well – by removing your tonsils, you are removing a vital part of the immune system that prevents the entrance of bacteria in the body.
Luckily, there are quite a few simple procedures which can remove your tonsil stones easily. Here are the best ones:
