Tonsilloliths -- Another Possible Cause Of Bad Breath

Tonsilloliths -- one of those 75-cent words you can throw around at a party to impress everyone -- is none other than tonsil stones. Tonsilloliths, or tonsil stones, are calcified growths found in the creases of the tonsils and towards the back of the mouth -- and a potential cause of bad breath. It's estimated 5 to 7% of the population have experienced these small, crumbly stones in their mouths.

Possible causes of tonsilloliths include the accumulation of food particles and dead white blood cells, overactive salivary glands, and oral bacteria.

If you notice tonsil stones in your mouth, let your dentist remove them. Don't try to remove them yourself because you can harm the soft tissues in your mouth and tonsils.

Learning about tonsilloliths and other possible causes of halitosis is the first step you can take to make sure your breath is always clean and fresh.
