Why do they cause bad breath?

Caseum is rich in volatile sulfur compounds. It is they who give the characteristic “rotten” or rotten egg smell. Even if you brush your teeth regularly, this is often not enough to cope with the problem, because these balls are located deep inside. Imagine spraying perfume on a garbage bag – you mask the smell for a moment, but you don’t solve the problem.

How do tonsilloliths appear?

The main causes are:

Insufficient oral hygiene – food debris is retained more easily.

Cryptic tonsils – in some people, the tonsils have more depressions, which favors accumulation.

Not enough saliva – dry mouth makes natural cleaning difficult.

A diet rich in dairy products or sugar – this promotes the growth of bacteria.

How to get rid of them naturally?

Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to remove these little balls and prevent them from appearing again:

Gargle with salt water or baking soda

Drink enough water during the day

Maintain good oral hygiene: brush your teeth at least twice a day, use a tongue scraper, floss

Use an oral irrigator or a needle-free syringe
