Tonsil Stones

This page is going to cover 10 preventative methods on how to prevent tonsil stones.  Tonsil stones, for most people, seem to form out of nowhere for no reason but the truth of the matter is some foods and drinks really do encourage their growth!  Here’s a list of different ways to prevent and remove tonsil stones.

Tonsil Stones Prevention:

1. Alcoholic mouthwashes can increase halitosis levels in patients with and without tonsil stones.  This is because alcohol drys out the mouth and encourages the growth of bad bacteria, including the growth of tonsilloliths.

2. Alcoholic drinks will increase the growth rate of stones as well, for the same reasons.  Our community has tested this on multiple occasions.   We rated our tonsil stone condition before and after a period where we drank alcohol and in every case there was an increase in tonsil stone levels.

3. Dairy products are one of the biggest train wrecks of tonsil stones.  Drinking milk daily, or using dairy creamer in coffee daily will result in a constant production of these nasty buggers.

4. This goes without saying, but good oral hygiene is a great foundation for any breath problems.  While good oral hygiene will not stop tonsil stones, it gives your mouth the building blocks for a good environment to prosper in.

5. Flossing and gum maintenance are also good steps for the prevention of tonsil stones and bad breath.  Again this step will not stop them from forming but the healthier your mouth is in general, the easier it will be to keep your mouth healthy.

6. Tongue scraping is a wonderful way to promote fresh breath and minimize the production and potency of tonsil stones.  Remember that any method that reduces the amount of “bad” bacteria in the mouth, will help in tonsil stones prevention.

7. Gargle with diluted Grapefruit Seed Extract 2 through 3 times per day.  This is an important step.  To be totally honest, I don’t know why this product works for stopping tonsil stones but it does.

8. Minimize mouth bacteria by flushing out the nasal cavities.  Using a Nasal & Sinus Irrigation Systemwill prevent all the bacteria from the nasal cavity from dripping down the back of your throat and tongue, where the worst oral bacteria is located.

9. Using an Oxygenated Toothpaste helps promote an extremely healthy environment for your mouth, reducing the ability for tonsil stones to grow.  This method alone will not prevent tonsil stones but it absolutely recommended as part of your oral hygiene method.

10.
