How To Alleviate Bad Breath from Tonsil Stones
Bad breath is an unpleasant condition that is caused by tonsilloliths. It’s embarrassing and makes you incredibly self-conscious (it did for me). Although this doesn’t eliminate bad breath completely, frequently gargling with mouthwash helps to mask and eliminate some of the bad breath. Gargling the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for about 5 minutes will also help for bad breath.
While you’re out and about living life, breath mints can also help mask the bad breath.
The most important thing though is to keep your mouth clean with AMAZING oral hygiene. Tonsil stones partly made up of bacteria, so if you keep your mouth super clean all the time, you it will help you for sure.
