Hi our mouth and tonsil are coated with mucus lining. Along with this lining, we have no. Of pits &crypts which vary from person to person. It's in these pits & crypts that bits of food, bacteria, and other debris get stuck. The debris calcifies or hardens turning into tonsil stone. This debris and bacteria release sulfur compound which is usually the main reason for the foul smell. Rinsing your mouth every time you eat with mouthwash (alcohol-free) will help to freshen your breath & kill the majority of bacteria in the mouth. Brushing properly with proper brushing technique will sweep any food bits, bacteria, and other debris. Change your toothbrush every 2-3 months. Although it's not performed as often as it was, sometimes a tonsillectomy or surgical removal of tonsils is the best way to prevent tonsil stones. Think of your tonsils like the appendix of your mouth. They help your immune system, but if they're causing you trouble, you can live without them. Have an apple, carrot, cucumber, water nuts in your daily diet. Avoid dairy products, sugar, processed food. Dairy products can cause a buildup of white coating on your tongue & buildup in tonsils & throat that leads to bad breath.
