Tonsilloliths
Known by most as “tonsil stones”, these formations reside inside the crypts of the tonsil. They’re composed mostly of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and food debris. They form in most post, due to an intolerance to lactose or gluten. They can cause sore throats, ear pain, bleeding tonsils, and most common – chronic bad breath.
If you suffer from bad breath that simply doesn’t go away no matter how many times you brush, floss, or gargle, you could be suffering from tonsilloliths. Reports are equally in children as well as adults.
Some dentists will say that tonsilloiths are merely food debris that has gotten trapped inside your tonsils. They couldn’t be more wrong! While studying the composition of a tonsillolith, there in fact is small amount of trade food debris, but there’s multiple factors that play important rules in the creation and longevity of tonsilloliths.
In a typical case of tonsilloliths, you’ll most likely experience any or all of these symptoms:
Bad Breath: This is by far the most common symptom of having tonsil stones. Bad breath is typically chronic and never goes away. People who suffer from chronic bad breath from tonsilloliths usually brush their teeth more than normally, or always carry a toothbrush around with them. Along with the bad breath comes a sour taste in the mouth and sometimes a yellow coating on the tongue. The volatile compounds that are released by tonsilloliths spread throughout the mouth and down the back of your tongue, causing reoccurring halitosis.
Ear Pain and Pressure: Being directly connected to the ear nose and throat region, in a rare number of cases some patients have had ear pain and pressure – almost like an ear infection.
Tonsillitis: Reoccurring sore throats is a very common symptom of tonsilloliths as well. In almost every case of a patient having tonsillitis, tonsil stones follow in their path.
Tonsilloliths can be removed by methods of direct pressure on the tonsil, or using an oral irrigation unit. These methods are only semi-effective and in some cases don’t work at all.
