Why do we have white lumps in our throat?

Where do these tonsilloliths come from?

Here are the main causes:

• Poor oral hygiene  : food residue stagnates more easily.
• Cryptic tonsils  : Some people have more “hollowed out” tonsils, which promotes buildup.
• Lack of saliva  : a dry mouth cleans less well.
• A diet too rich in dairy products or sugar , which promote bacterial proliferation.

How to get rid of it naturally?

Fortunately, there are several simple solutions to eliminate these balls and prevent them from returning:

1. Salt or Baking Soda Gargle
   Gargle with warm water and salt (or baking soda) every night. This helps loosen tonsils and clear your throat.
2. Optimal Hydration
   Drink enough water throughout the day. A well-hydrated mouth produces more saliva, which limits the formation of tonsil stones.
3. Rigorous oral hygiene

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day
• Clean the tongue with a tongue scraper
• Use dental floss to remove food debris

1. Needle-free water jet or syringe
   Some people use a small water jet or syringe filled with water to gently dislodge visible tonsils from the tonsils.
