Tonsillolith
|
A tonsillolith (or tonsil stone) is a ball-like accumulation of food particles, bacteria, leukocytes, Dead white cells, and dried mucus in the folds of tonsils. These folds are referred to as crypts. The balls of bacteria and their waste products are colored white or yellow, are often described as resembling cottage cheese or cauliflower, and have a very foul odor, especially when dislodged and broken. Tonsilloliths may contribute to halitosis and sore throats. Prevention methods include gargling with salt water or a non-alcohol, non-sugar based mouth wash. A cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide applied directly on the tonsil stones will dislodge them. The use of a water pick to clear out the crypts of accumulated debris may also help (the lower pressure tongue-cleaner attachment is recommended). A more drastic method, a tonsillectomy, is not usually indicated or recommended, but will lead to permanent relief.
