=========================================================== How To Prevent Tonsil Stones (Those Nasty, Whitish/Yellow, Foul-Smelling, Lumps From Your Tonsils!) ===========================================================

WHERE DO TONSIL STONES COME FROM? ARE THEY NORMAL? WHY ME?

Tonsil Stones (tonsilloliths) are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged inrepparttar 115441 tonsils. This debris (which can include mucous from post nasal drip) putrefies inrepparttar 115442 back of your throat, and collects inrepparttar 115443 tonsil crypts (small divots or pockets which appear onrepparttar 115444 surface ofrepparttar 115445 tonsils).

When this debris combines withrepparttar 115446 Volatile Sulfur Compounds produced byrepparttar 115447 anaerobic bacteria beneathrepparttar 115448 surface of your tongue, along withrepparttar 115449 tonsil stones it can also create chronic Halitosis (and other stubborn bad breath and taste disorders).

Important: If you do not have your tonsils then you will NOT experience tonsil stones. However this does NOT mean that you should run out and get your tonsils removed.

As we get older, tonsillectomies become increasingly dangerous, but aside from that, even if you have your tonsils removed, you will most likely still have bad breath! Why is that?

You see,repparttar 115450 sulfur-producing bacteria breeding beneathrepparttar 115451 surface of your tongue (which are integral torepparttar 115452 creation of those tonsil stones) are alsorepparttar 115453 most likely candidates to cause bad breath!

=========================================================== You CAN Stop Morning Breath! ===========================================================

Since I establishedrepparttar 115440 California Breath Clinics back in 1993, I've encountered just about every kind of breath condition possible....

Fromrepparttar 115441 most offensive situations where you can smellrepparttar 115442 patients breath from acrossrepparttar 115443 room, to those lucky few with breath sweeter than a baby. We've been very fortunate in that we've been able to tackle all types of bad breath, taste disorders, and dry mouth.

But, I wanted to share something special with you regarding a category of bad breath and sour/bitter taste common to just about everybody.

Stats about Morning Breath

Approximately 35% ofrepparttar 115444 world's population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This first group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, including food odors, taste disorders, dry mouth, and of course "morning breath"....

Another 35% are "borderline" - meaning that their breath seems fresh throughoutrepparttar 115445 day, but they can easily reach "chronic" levels, if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up, in other words - "morning breath".

The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening (morning breath)...

So what's going on with morning breath? The thing is, just about EVERYONE has morning breath to one degree or another!

As we sleep throughoutrepparttar 115446 night, our salivary glands slow down (or for some older people - shut down completely) because our brain knows we are not eating. This, combined withrepparttar 115447 constant flow of air (for those of us who snore or are mouth breathers) over our palate makes for a very DRY environment onrepparttar 115448 tongue, within our oral cavity and inrepparttar 115449 throat (the breeding grounds ofrepparttar 115450 anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).
