Have you ever experienced having irregularly shaped foul smelling mucus formations at the back of your throat? These aren’t extra food debris that get caught up in your throat when you don’t properly. These are tonsil stones. They are whitish or yellowish in color, foul-smelling globs of mucus and bacteria that get caught up at the back of your throat. They form in your tonsil crypts (small pockets in our tonsils). It is more formally known as causes of post nasal drip.
For a while, some dentists overlook it as merely chunks of undigested food trapped in the throat. It is only recently that the oral care community has increased awareness on chronic post nasal drip what these white spots are and what harm they could do.
These stones don’t cause pain as other cure for post nasal drip related problems do. Maybe this is why most of us mistake it as merely food debris. However, they can be annoying and they can cause bad breath or Halitosis.
If you’ve ever had first hand experience of tonsil stone, they you would have known how foul its. The smell is actually a combination of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (major cause of Halitosis), post nasal drip and bacteria.
Formations of these stones do not mean you have to get your tonsils removed. Previously, extraction of the tonsils to eliminate the stones is done because they swell and inflame the tonsils. However, recent studies show that the tonsils actual purpose to prevent foreign and unwanted organisms to travel deeper into the throat.
There are various treatments to get rid of these stones without succumbing to remove your tonsils. Tonsil stones cause bad breath. Tonsil stones are made up of the same sulfur compounds and bacteria that are major causes of bad breath. Tonsil stones are also partly made of excessive mucus secretions by the nasal cavity that causes triggers post nasal drip symptoms.
