Bread breath can be caused by more than a garlic filled meal, it could be your tonsils. But there is a way to get rid of the problem.
“When I was talking to people at my job and people move away when I talk to them and I knew there was something wrong with my breath.” Said Sadeta Velovic, who suffered from bad breath.
40-year old Sadeta Velovic suffered with bad breath for 10 years, and mouthwashes and other remedies didn’t help, her doctors told her there was nothing wrong with her, but it turns out she had tonsil stones.
“Tonsil stones which is biofilm formed by bacteria glued together — form a paste or a stone like structure and they locate themselves into the tonsil pockets.” Said Otolaryngology Yosef Krespi, M.D.
Those stones cause bad breath and each tonsil can have 10 to 20 pockets. If you have sinus problems you are more likely to have tonsil stones, but luckily, an ear, nose and throat specialist can remove them with a 15-minute procedure.
“We use a tiny laser probe to get access to the stone or the pocket that is where the stone is located. The goal is to evacuate the pocket, remove part of the stone and burn with a little laser the depth of the pocket so that the stone reform and won’t reattach.” Added the Otolaryngology.
The good news is there is little downtime after the treatment and “Sadeta” is thrilled with the results.
“It’s worth it. I’m so happy.”
Only a handful of doctors are doing this right now. It costs two thousand dollars but most insurance companies cover it.
