Ever had the feeling of a foreign material stuck at the back of your throat? Ever wondered why you have bad breath? Well, you might be suffering from tonsil stones or tonsillolith, they can be small or big for you to cough it out or manually remove it although it might be dislodged if not removed properly. The smell caused by tonsil stones is so bad that you really need to know ways in getting rid of tonsil stones.
If this seems to be the problem, getting rid of tonsil stones means getting rid of your tonsils as well, they say that it is just an accessory organ that one does not need. So, removal of these tonsil stones or the tonsils itself should be consulted to a surgeon, to make things clear as well as the treatment.
If you want to remove themselves then do not do it manually but if you insist, make sure your hands are clean. You can use Q-tip or a dental irrigator. If you are really keen on getting rid of tonsil stones but do not want to undergo tonsillectomy, then non surgical options can be done which are much safer and can help, although the assurance of no more bad breath is low.
Good oral hygiene is the key non surgical option. Always brush your teeth after each meal, you can use a salt gargle or a commercial menthol gargle, it is your preference of course. You can even use a tongue scraper to help you scrape the particles off your tongue. Your dentist may also require you to take antibiotics but it depends.
Getting rid of tonsil stones is not that difficult. Always practice good oral hygiene in order to avoid tonsil stones. No person wants to have bad breath and feel uncomfortable at all. Do not ever eat before going to bed, if you will do eat then brush your teeth after. Do not let your tonsil stones become bigger and harder to cure, prevent it with good oral hygiene.
