Tonsoliths

From Free Yourself from Sinus and Allergy Problems Permanently.

Tonsoliths is also known as a tonsil stone,

Tonsoliths are the white particles you sometimes see in your tonsils. Sometimes the white particles are extruded and they are the size of a pencil lead; they have a bad odor. It is possible to have bad breath because your tonsils are filled with these particles. They may be as hard as a rock! Sometimes they and the tongue contain bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds such as methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfite.
The deeper the tongue furrows the more likely to have anaerobic bacteria.

What are tonsoliths? The word Tonsolith literally means tonsil stones. Sometimes these are rock hard. When they are rock hard they can act as a foreign body and cause localized discomfort. When you swallow it is like you had a pin in your throat.
Tonsils have crypts or deep holes. This allows more area for the good white cells to attack the bad bacteria. Imagine an orange. There is a small actual surface. Now imagine punching deep holes into the surface and each hole has a surface area that adds to the surface area that is “useful,” for getting at bacteria.

Various conditions can cause Tonsoliths. Food particles may fall in and dry out hard. Or mucus from postnasal drainage may accumulate and dry out, with a mixture of the dead white cells. Or the tonsil may extrude its dead bacteria and white cells.

If a bacteria is near one of these crypts or deep valleys, they might be attacked by the good white cells. Or, the bacteria may be inside the tonsil, and upon being killed by the good white cells, is extruded into the tonsil crypts. The white material is composed of dead bad bacteria and dead defending cells. The reason it is white is because of the white defending cells or leukocytes. Leukocytes means white cells. derived from Greek leukos (white), and kytos (cell)

Manipulating with spoon or tweezer to remove Tonsoliths may damage the tonsil and cause bleeding. The Hydro Pulse®

comes with a special adaptor for the throat. The throat adaptor is attached to the handle. The adaptor is placed on the right tongue, straight back, parallel to the tongue. The pulsatile stream is aimed at just behind the last tooth. This insures that there won’t be any gagging. The solution used is warm water. The gentle pulsation is especially designed to crowbar out the pieces from the tonsil crypts. After irrigating about 250 cc, stop, turn the tip over , slide the tip over to the left tongue, parallel to the tongue and aim just behind the last tooth. With this method, the material is quickly and easily removed without traumatizing the tonsil.

There are hundreds of kinds of bacteria in the mouth. These organisms digest proteins and the result is several smelly products.
Malodor commonly is from the tongue and tonsils. Since a major source of halitosis is the back of the tongue, HP irrigation is ideal for this

Step one: Add warm water to the pulsatile irrigator basin.

Step two: Attach throat irrigator tip to the handle

Step three: Adjust pressure so it is low.

Step four: Lay tip parallel to the throat on the right side of the tongue. No part of the tip should touch the left tongue area.

Step five: Bend your head so you can see the sink drain.

Step six: Turn on Hydro Pulse® . Aim the stream to just behind the last tooth.

Step seven: Adjust the pressure using the pressure control for comfort.

Step eight: Pause, machine off. Flip the tip over and slide to the left tongue, keeping it parallel to the length of the tongue.

Step 9: Adjust pressure for comfort

Step 10: Turn off machine.

Step 11: Now use tonsil irrigator tip as a tongue scraper. Note: it is difficult to run water while tongue scraping. First practice throat irrigation a while before attempting to irrigate while tongue scraping.

Uses for throat irrigation:
For breath problems
For tonsoliths
For snoring. Regular use of the throat irrigation reduces excess fat in the throat tissue, massages the throat muscles to make them stronger and reduces overall inflammation and swelling.
For onset of sore throat. Ideal for clearing a minor sore throat.
For repeated tonsil/throat infections, to clear the tonsils to avoid tonsil surgery.

Halitosis There are halitosis problems in about 2.4 % of the population but at some time about 65 million Americans suffer from halitosis.
A main cause of halitosis is the bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds such as methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfite.
The deeper the tongue furrows the more likely to have anaerobic bacteria.

Volatile sulphur compounds or VSC refers to the many bacteria that can cause the unpleasant hydroget sulphite odor.

Bacteriologic analysis from the biofilm and scraped specimens obtained from the tongue dorsum or other oral sites can identify the VSC-producing bacteria. Porphyromonas, Prevotella, Actinobacillus, and Fusobacterium species were the most common organisms identified from cultures. These were primarily on the tongue dorsum, gingival pockets, and tonsil crypts.

Common methods of reducing VSC includes Hydro Pulse ® irrigation, tongue brushing, tongue scraping, chewing gum. According to National Institue of Dental Research about 2.4% of the population have halitosis.

Remember that halitosis can also be from the nose, sinuses, postnasal discharge. Clearing nasal dryness and restoring good nasal cilia function are indicated for this source of odor problem.

In the majority of the halitosis patients I see, both nasal irrigation for the nose/sinus and throat irrigation are required.
