HOSTS: Charissa Wood, RDH
DESCRIPTION
In this episode, Charissa Wood discusses tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths. She explains what tonsil stones are, how they form, and the symptoms they can cause. Charissa also explores the treatment options for tonsil stones and provides tips for prevention. The episode concludes with a promotion for the Bulletproof Hygiene community on the Mighty Network.
TAKEAWAYS
Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are small lumps that form in the tonsils and are made up of food, debris, mucus, bacteria, and fungus.
They can cause symptoms such as bad breath, sore throat, earache, inflammation, and difficulty swallowing.
Treatment options for tonsil stones include coughing or sneezing them out, using a damp cotton tip or rubber tip to remove them, gargling with salt water, or undergoing coblation cryptolysis.
Prevention strategies include practicing good oral hygiene, using oral probiotics, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and vaping, and being mindful of dietary contributions.
Join the Bulletproof Hygiene community on the Mighty Network to share tips and tricks for effectively removing or preventing tonsil stones.

    You most definitely convinced me that I need to start using xylitol for my toothcare regimen!

  •  20 днів тому

    I use directly xylitol crystals after meals. You just need to let it dissolve in your mouth with your saliva and swiss it for 5 to 10 minutes. There is really no need to buy any gums and sweets. You spit it, rinse your mouth. And then brush your teeth about 30 minutes later. Then, you are good to go.

  • @kranerwheatens

    Xylitol can mess with your microbiome in your gut. I wouldn't chew the gum b/c even swallowing a little is enough to do so. Also has extra things in it like sorbitol "a potato starch and such". Instead get the crystals in the bag from walmart.... It is pure Xylitol. A lot cheaper than the gum as well. Use 1/5 teaspoon after each meal includes 2 brushings a day .. 1 t/s daily which is about 10 grams.. Just swish it around for 10-15 minutes then spit it out. No upset stomach and no 10 calories to burn and more importantly no worries for any heart issues.... If all the naysayers are correct about that. Always seems someone has to be negative I guess.

    Hello ladies. You say to spit xylitol gum out after 5 mins. Is there harm in swallowing the liquid after swishing in mouth for 5 mins or as chewing just swallow it as chewing it? I guess what I'm asking is are you recommending to spit out the liquid or just the gum?

    I don’t remember the name of the brand of echinacea I started with years ago but now I use St. Francis Herb Farm tinctures. It is a Canadian company. Through the years I have done research and I find it’s best to use a tincture that has both the angustifolia and the purpurea strains of echinacea. My family use it at the first sign of any illness.

    Thanks for the very informative video. Can you confirm that Xylitol doesn't interfere with the production of nitric oxide in the mouth? Nitric oxide has been proven to reduce hypertension and to encourage the production of this gas I have cut out fluoride, mouthwashes and antacids which interfere with the process. Dr Nathan Bryan is an expert on NO and there are a number of interviews with him on UA-cam. Hope you can advise.

    Isn't it interesting that in Europe, they have used xylitol for decades? Yet in the US, not a peep. My hygienist never mentioned xylitol until AFTER I informed her that I started using it after meals. THEN she became very knowledgeable about its benefits and how it prevents caries. What a joke of a dentist and hygienist... I am disgusted that they don't tell people about it because they would lose CASH$$$$$ and patients... How wonderful would it be that children never got a cavity their entire childhood? How financially freeing would less dental work be?

    I've used xylitol for 15 or 20 years and it's fabulous! But, a couple of cautions. First, start with a lower dose and work up to the 5 or 6 grams per day over a month. The reason is that too much can upset your stomach and cause diarrhea. It's not harmful in any way... just start slow. The other caution is to be sure that the xylitol that you are using is 100% sourced from the US and made from birch trees. The xylitol sourced from China has been reported to sometimes be contaminated. Finally, instead of gum, I put it in my coffee, which I sip all morning. Then, I switch to iced tea in the afternoon with xylitol. Then, after brushing in the evening, I enjoy a xylitol mint before bed. Last thing... I used to have pockets in my gums that were 4 or 5 deep. They are completely gone. I use CloSYS before brushing to adjust the pH in my mouth, then brush, then Listerine Cool Mint. And, as mentioned, sip on xylitol most of the day.
