Effective Treatment of Tonsil Stones

Your colleague offers you a piece of gum. You decline, but he insists and nods at the approaching client. You understand immediately. Taking a short moment in a secluded office, you cup your hands over your mouth and breathe out. The resulting exhalation produces a most particularly foul smell, even to you. You wonder what, exactly, is dying in your mouth. Some days later, after repeated flossing, multiple rinses of mouthwash, innumerable pieces of gum and a little research, you realize that you are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, tonsil stones.

Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are the cause of severe halitosis, or bad breath, in approximately seven percent of the U.S. population. They generally occur in adults who have a history of repeated tonsillitis but not in those who have had their tonsils removed. They are simply calcified, that is, hardened, areas of soft tissue at the back of the throat in the area of the tonsils. Putrefaction of this calcified material produces the unpleasant odor. They are generally benign and are usually treated only because of their noisome side effect.

Understanding the problem is the first step in solving it. If tonsil stones are the cause of your bad breath, what are the solutions?

Tonsil stones treatment falls broadly into four categories: irrigation, curettage, laser removal and surgery. Irrigation involves gargling with a warm brine solution. The salt in the solution can dissolve the exterior of the stone and, if lucky, ultimately dislodge the entire stone. Curettage is the use of a curette, a hemispherically bladed surgical tool, to scoop out portions of the stone. Laser ablation specifically evaporates the stone and leaves the surrounding tissue undamaged. Finally, traditional surgery physically excises the stone and this procedure is only used in extreme cases.
