To tell the truth, I never thought I'd have to worry about removing tonsil stones.
Up until about 3 months ago, I wasn't even aware that they existed.
However, after a trip to the dentist, my dentist shook his head and grimly asked me, "Did you know that you have tonsilloliths? Tonsilloliths is the correct term for stone like material that accumulates in the recesses of the tonsils.
It seems like all people with tonsils are fair game for these disgusting things.
They are composed of virtually an "all star team" of vile materials! Mostly they are made up of mucous that has hardened, dead white blood cells, and sulfurous bacteria.
And ALL that stuff is in your mouth! Naturally, because they are the end product of such awful materials, the symptoms of the stones are pretty disgusting as well.
Typically, they cause extreme bad breath, chronic sore throat, and a cough that won't go away.
In the latter stages of their development, they can be as large as 1/2 inch in length! Consequently, many sufferers complain of having difficulty swallowing.
At that point, most of them get busy removing tonsil stones.
I never knew about my stones until they were large enough to be plainly seen.
My dentist explained that it is best to remove them when they are quite small.
The problem is that they are "lurking" deep in your tonsils, and are difficult to locate.
In fact, my dentist said that removing tonsil stones when they are tiny may be as simple as gargling with a salt water solution.
Man, I wish I had known that! Now, it seemed that my options for getting rid of them were a little limited.
I could pick them out individually, which would drive my gag reflex crazy, or opt for some kind of surgery.
Frankly, neither choice got me all that excited.
Still, I knew that I had to do SOMETHING! Luckily, I discovered a natural solution to the stones.
