Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be a terrible thing to subject people to, especially when you're trying to make that ever-important first impression. For some people, it doesn't matter how hard they try to get rid of their bad breath, it still persists. Why? Brushing your teeth and tongue until the inside of your mouth is worn down doesn't seem to help any, mouthwashes of numerous varieties and strengths don't work either, and all efforts just seem to give you minty fresh bad breath!
Go up to your mirror and take a good look inside your mouth. Go on, look... and you might need a penlight to see clearly - you'll need to be focusing on the back of throat, where your tonsils are. Do you see anything strange? Try to see if your tonsils have any kind of white or yellowish-white spots or bumps on them. Do they? Even faintly so? If they do, those spots or lumps are the very reason that you can't get rid of your bad breath by conventional means. These are what are known as tonsil stones, tonsilloliths (also spelled tonsiloliths, tonsiliths or tonsilliths), cryptic tonsils or "white tonsils".
Some of the food you eat can get stuck in the tiny pores of your tonsils and get covered over with secretions from your throat much like an oyster forms pearls over grains of sand. These bacteria farms are what cause the bad breath that just won't go away. People have often tried on their own to get rid of them, and often through dangerous means, but they just seem to come back. For this reason, the majority of sufferers turn to surgery to completely remove their tonsils, even to their own doctor's suggestion!
But really, there are other options, including natural remedies that amount to merely eating certain things to remedy this condition. There's absolutely no need for such drastic surgery at all. Those who use such natural methods for this particular problem completely eliminate their bad breath forever. Why go under the knife? It'd be like swatting at a fly with a thermonuclear device... it's just insanity, and far too drastic a course of action. Let's not forget that our tonsils are part of our main immunity defense. After all, think about it... would you rather have someone carve and butcher them free from your throat, or just occasionally eat a few certain types of delicious greens and such?
