Dental issues are a big thing for every person – old or young. Today in this article we are going to talk about dental issues and how to get rid of them without wasting money.
Do you know what tonsil stones are? Referred to as tonsilloliths as well, are the small and off-white waste that is found on the back of the throat. They can often cause pain while swallowing, inflamed red tonsils and bad breath.
Use an oral irrigator :
You need a water irrigator that isn’t spraying too strong, nor too little, because you need something to push the tonsil stones out of their cavities. Just put the irrigator inside your mouth, and direct the stream onto one visible stone while you dislocate it. If it hurts, you need an irrigator with less water pressure power.
Gargling :
Use mouthwash after a meal, since the tonsil stones usually tend to form after leftover food is stuck in the tiny invisible holes. It’s best if you use an alcohol-free mouthwash. Also, you could use a home-made mixture of warm water and salt, since it since it dislocates bits of food from the tonsil craters.
Gargling with apple cider vinegar :
The acidic content is even stronger when it comes to breaking down tonsils. You should make a DIY mixture, containing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of warm water for better dissolving. Use it after a meal.
Essential oils :
Such as lemongrass and myrrh oil have excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, so they can be useful for cleaning tonsils as well. Just add few drops on your toothbrush and brush those stones away.
Yoghurt :
Eating or drinking yoghurt can be useful for tonsils, since it contains lactobacillus acidophilus and other beneficial probiotics, which can prevent the creation of tonsil stones. This is a more preventive approach, but you can use it to clean tonsils as well.
Carrots :
