Removing Tonsil Stones

Sometimes food particles can get caught in the grooves of your tonsils. If those food particles stick around for too long, they can harden into calcified masses known as tonsil stones. Tonsil stones appear as white and yellow lumps. Unfortunately, they attract a sulfur-containing bacterium that causes bad breath.*

You can usually remove tonsil stones with a water flosser or cotton swab. Another natural way to dislodge tonsil stones is by gargling with warm salt water.
