ahhh...I've had them since I was a pre-teen after mono, I use 6" cotton tipped applicators every morning to search and poke them out. Now I'm 31. I really noticed them in my mid 20's, and by 28 I had them every week until now. Make sure you brush, floss and mouthwash before sleeping!! Check daily in the mirror with a flashlite. Look for whiter areas of the pink tonsils, and press. I have had them bleed upon removal only on my left side, but it does heal in a day. I also get a tiny bit of blood in my right nostril when i blow my nose sometimes. Since I probe every day now, sometimes only yellowish fluid releases, and often it takes two days to get all of them out. I'm extra juicy, I have a runny nose while exercising. I buy a case of the q-tips with wooden shaft from medical supply stores, a box of 1,000-10,000 non sterile case, and I use about 20/day, discarded in tissue. I spent many hundreds and thousands of dollars on a waterpik and mouthwashes, and the best toothbrushes, tongue scrapers, sonicare, cosmetic dentistry, pharmacys. Plus I like to watch my diet. When I didn't look for them in my 20's I got alot of sore throats, at least one "cold" or sinus infection every month, I would caugh up mucous. I thought it was an allegy to sugar, mostly high fructos corn syrup, if i ate excessive junk or desserts... Then I thought it was tobacco second hand smoke, then I adopted out my 3 lovely cats, and well... I don't get sick now that I pick them out, but I have stones on both sides every month. Diet definately affects it! I know for a fact because I ate a sweet cereal dry, and the next morning the clumps from the top part was the cereal honey smell... notice how beer or soda gives you a pasty yeasty tongue... well it factors in.... also if i eat green salad, they are greener yellow, if i eat subway bread or ice cream, they are white. I was scared I had an std... got tested at the health department... thanks to a story about a 4yr old girl having them I doubt that it is a cause. I am paranoid about bad breath, I floss and brush 15 minutes after eating, I chew gum, I talk out away from someone, I also notice how many people touch their nose... well, I feel gross about it, but the body is very sophisticated, and although I rarely kiss even my fiance... (I do recommend everybody use flavored condoms for oral just in case)... I'm not a medical professional, but my bf mentioned urinary track infections... antibiotics, probiotics... all unknown results... in the meantime, I pray and laugh it off, I'm going to get health insurance and go to my dentists and ent. Also I practice yoga, the nasal breathing techniques help, I rarely get sick when I practice often, I usually wake up with a stuffy nose, and can't breath out of one side often... well, happy oral hygiene and god bless!!! At least now I'm not alone in this condition.I get the tonsil turds only once in a while. EVERY TIME it is due to eating at fast food chains, Highly processed snacks or other unnatural foods. One person claimed that garlic and spicy foods caused his. THAT"S propabaly because its RESTRAUNT food. Bottom line: the tonsil turds are due to defiled, rancid or morbid food. USUALY restraunt or highly processed foods. I have proven this to myself 100's of times over the last 40 years.
that's not necessarily true. I'm a health nut, a vegetarian and an avid vegetable eater. i never eat fast food and i still get tonsil stones. i guess it all depends on your own bodies; i'm going to try oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash and see if it helps at all. it sucks too because i really want to kiss this boy and i feel like i can't because my breath is so disgusting.
im going to the docter soon because ive been geting these in my tonsolse there discusting i hope i got them all out it freaks me out to even know there in my tonsils ewww
just wondering if having your tonsils removed is the best solution because i cough up tonsil stones but am not thrilled to have my tonsils removed
(sorry for my bad english...im italian) Hi, i have resolved the problem building a pipe who sprays water directly to my tonsils. the pressure is not high, to avoid to damage the tonsils, i have connected this pipe to the tap of my bathroom and i can regulate the amount of water that go to my tonsils. At the beginning was a bit difficult because is not simple to control the stimulus to vomit, but after few times, i learned to control it, and now im able to wash all my tonsils when i want. I repeat this 1 time a day or 1 time each 2 days and i have seen that tonsil stones after i removed the first times, are not anymore in my troath. My breath has not anymore a bad smell, but to prevent bad breath is also important to wash the thongue when you wash your teeth. This is what i do to eliminate bad breath: wash teeth 3 times a day, use dental floss 1 time a day, wash tongue after i wash teeth and 3 times a week i wash my tonsil with the pipe ( the first times i have washed them every day, until they was clean). I hope it will help u, bye, Frank.Hey Frank, thanks for your tip. I'll give it a shot sometime!I've had tonsil stones ever since childhood. The two things that have changed in recent times are 1) I learned that they were tonsil stones and were a cause of bad breath and 2) I've learned a trick to remove them, which I will elaborate upon. This isn't a fool proof method so don't get your hopes high. Use the following steps:1) You need to learn to use suction over your tonsils (similar to the suction that allows you to draw mucus through your nasal track).2) Bend down and turn your head sideways, in the direction in which you have your tonsil stone and then use suction. For instance, if you have a tonsil olith on the right tonsil, bend down and turn your head to the righ and try suction. Sounds strange but it works. Bending over gets gravity on your side. As for turning to the side, I discovered that purely by trial and error. Hope that helps!Best,Pete
i hate tonsile stink balls. i use a rubber EAR wax remover to get rid of mine. i squeez it stick it under warm running water and let it fill up. then i point it to the area i want to clean. and squeez. it allways takes 4-6 times per side but it really cleans them out. after that i toss some serious mouth wash in like listereen and they stay away for adleast a weeek or two.
I ordered the tonsil stone removal kit because i have trouble getting rid of these disgusting balls of horror. I figure it's worth the gamble. I just wish i knew what the success rate was. ONE UNORTHODOX METHOD: If you like hardcore genres of alternative rock, and you scream and belt out grunge, you'll pop 'em out. You have to do it often though
I tried the formula and it not only left me with a sore throat for 2 weeks but I was also extremely nauseated every time I took it! The subsequent vomiting led to more debris stuck in my tonsils and worsened my halitosis. This is the worst product ever. No wonder it is not approved by the ADA!
ANYONE EVER TRY PEROXIDE? IT'S OXGENATING AND CHEAP.
I've had the tonsil stone prob for the past 6 months. My Doc has recommended combining 50% of Mouthwash with 50% of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide & gargle 2-3 times a day. Slow process, however, it has reduced. I'm informed that by my next appointment 2 months later it should be gone. Hopefully.....
