Your Stinky Breath Might Be a Condition
Nobody wants to have bad breath, right? It can be quite off-putting chatting with someone who has nasty breath. But what do you do about persistent bad breath that seems resistant to regular oral hygiene practices? As this person suggests, it could potentially be a sign of tonsil stones. These are small, calcified deposits that form in the crevices of the tonsils at the back of the throat.
Often unnoticed, tonsil stones can harbor bacteria and emit a foul odor, contributing to chronic bad breath. These stones are formed from accumulated debris, such as food particles, and dead cells, which get trapped in the tonsil crypts. While they are generally harmless, they can cause discomfort, including a sore throat or a feeling that something is stuck at the back of the mouth.
