Do you ever clean your tonsils?

Successful

Maybe some of you guys already know about this condition, that many people have to some degree.

You look behind your tonsils and find these small pockets. You massage it and keep on massaging and all of a sudden this white leftovers comes out. Yes, this is the crap that is collected there from You not brushing or taking good enough care of your teeth. This is also the reason some people have bad breath.

What?

Scrumpet

Well that's a bit unpleasant.

Hectic

Why are you doing this.

Successful

Information. I'm just spreading information.

How is this related to our £400m transfer budget?

Hectic

Not like this....Not like this.

Successful

Yes watch it. Then go watch your own mouth.

Looks fun.

These are pits in the tonsils, right?

I have them, it basically feels like you have something stuck in your throat most of the time. I was offered a tonsillectomy, but, as I didn't like the idea & its just uncomfortable rather than dangerous in any way, I declined the offer.

I don't have bad breath btw, in case you were wondering, neither does anything white come out...

Needs more innuendo.

Liam147

Well that's awful.

How can you actively prevent that? Does regular brushing do the job or can (and does) this happen to us all?

Badunk

In your case it goes in.

Basically if you brush your teeth 2x a day and you do it well you won't have this problem. I've been a heavy coke drinker for years, stopped it now, and ate loads of candy growing up. I always brushed my teeth very well and with me being a regular visitor to the orthodontist for about 8 years I got lots of praise of how clean and good my teeth are. Now they are straight as fuck as well as super clean.

If this is a wake up call to start brushing your teeth, good. Do that. Stupid not to. If you're cool than don't worry about this gross shit that people get when they don't take care of themselves or are in a very small minority with super unlucky genes.

Oooh, get you! Mr Clean Teeth!

Zarlak

What the fuck is that.

Colin129

Please explain?

In where?

I brush my teeth once every 3/4 days. Yeah they're a bit yellow but I've never had a single problem. Always get perfect results on dentist checkups.
Brushing your teeth is overrated.

Levo91

Ewwww.

Too many dentistry threads

cw1984

What is that? Like... what actually is that? It looks like oats.

VeevaVee

Gross. Mine feel unclean if I forget just overnight

I don't get this tonsil stone stuff. How do you know if its there?

Snow

Clean and proud of it! I think I have the rights after having suffered 6 years of braces and 1 year before and after the braces of more annoying orthodontic procedures.

I am willing to clean tonsils with my special tonsil-cleaning implement.

I reserve the right to choose who, though.

ciderman9000000

No you don't. One day you'll get your teeth knocked out for being so smug; think about that for a second.

I feel a bit for just dropping this shit on the forum last night. If you are wondering it's just some leftovers broken down by bacterials.

Your tonsils is your protection against external bacterials. Everything that comes through your lymphsystem (nose, ears, mouth) will pass through that gateway. This is why you get a sore throat when you're ill.

So, this condition is not something doctors can explain and very few people and doctors know about it. It's not a dangerous condition so there's not much research being put into it.

What people experience is that something is stuck in their throat, at the very back, when in fact it's just your tonsil pockets that is filling up with this crap.

How Do I get rid of it?
* You can pick it yourself. These suckers start creating after each meal. My tip is that you use a strong led light - like on the mobile phone - point it into your mouth and put your finger in and softly pull your tonsils a bit. Be very gentle because you will feel sore and start to bleed if you do this too roughly.
Keep on massaging it, from the bottom and up. You have to do this on the backside of the tonsil at the same time as you are pulling it out. Just watch the video clip.
Then you can see this white crap appear. Pretty much the same shit that you sometimes have at the edge of your teeth where it meets the gingiva.

* The next tip is to keep up with brushing and especially tooth thread. Don't use listerine - it only gives you misscoloured teeth. This is a fact.
Gurgle warm/hot water + some salt. This helps your tonsils to keep clean.

* Foods like milk, chips, coffee, cheese, meat, bread are often to blame. Smoking and alcohole are also in it.


Now go clean your tonsils and your breath will improve by a mile.

Zarlak

How the feck would you even get close to massaging your tonsils without retching.

Successful

You shouldn't go too far down on the side. Keep away from the tongue. This is something you can train away.

VeevaVee

What about Listerine Whitening? Are you a dentist?

King_Eric

Was disgusted a bit by the video and the thought of it, until I realised I don't have any tonsils anymore.

VidaRed

is it that hard that you cant brush your teeth in the morning after getting up ?

although i find brushing teeth before going to bed irritating and somewhat retarded so i only brush once a day in the morning.

EricaNo7

I don't have tonsils but if I did I couldn't possibly rush them. I have a very short gag reflex and would retch as soon as a toothbrush got anywhere near the back of my throat or tongue

my husband would concur, Levo - but now we just have whippets as preventative measures!!

It can be that you're not getting the hang of the way of doing it or you're just clean in there. Since you said you don't have a bad breath then you're probably clean. Could be that your tonsils are just irritated in general that makes you feel like you have something stuck in there. Sometimes the thyroid is part of the problem. See, the tonsils are just what connect all these systems, so if you have a problem there then it could be coming from somewhere else. Do you have a thick nose or often swallow slime that feels like it's gathering up in your throat?

There are better ways of getting white teeth than using Listerine. You can go to a dentist and get them polished for no money at all and have a long lasting results and maintain it with some natural stuff. So why bother with listerine? It's like trying to clean your house with putting perfume in it.

The best way to keep your teeth white is to not drink coffee nor smoke. Use a gentle natural whitening fluid without these alcoholes in them. They just fuck up your mouth. Don't brush for too long either because then you destroy your teeth just as much. Have a 2 minute long brushing 2-3 times a day and do it gently + use tooth thread.

What's the biggest cause of these? Not flossing?

I had these once when I had tonsillitis but have been ok otherwise. Fairly sure I still have cryptic tonsils though, is that genetic? Never had any problems with the dentist and brush 2 x a day. Am very lazy about flossing though.
