How to get rid of bad breath cause by tonsil stone?
Brush your teeth often (4 times a day) and FLOSS, and use mouth wash each time. Also, drink lots and lots of water, because a dry mouth makes it worse! Also, avoid mouth wash with alcohol, as that dries out your mouth, too.
Bad breath and tonsil stones?
Hi Stephanie, It’s totally normal to get bad breath halfway through the day, even if you brushed in the morning. There are a number of factors. Your mouth could be getting dry due to the food you are eating or if you have allergies. Try drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep your mouth full of saliva and this will also help stop bad breath. Try chewing a sugar-free gum, that may help too. The best way to get tonsil stones out is to prevent them. Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths are often misdiagnosed and fairly common. They are caused by the accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in your tonsils. These can also lead to bad breath. You may want to consider seeing your dentist, but most likely you can remove them at home. Use an oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash. When used in combination with nasal sinus drops it should eliminate your tonsil stones. There’s a really good site here: http://www.tonsilstones.com/ Good Luck!
