Tonsil stones are formed by calcification of food debris, bacteria, dead cells, mucus and other substances.
Tonsil stones are pathologic calcium, magnesium, and other inorganic salts stones. The formation of tonsil stones is associated with long-term chronic inflammation of the tonsils and crypt blockage. Chronic inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tonsils over a long period of time will result in fibrous tissue adhesions or tissue cell necrosis, which, together with secretions such as mucus, will lead to the deposition of calcium salts, which will eventually lead to the formation of stones.
Foreign body or chronic inflammatory reaction leads to tonsil crypt mouth blockage, followed by shedding of epithelial cells, dead bacteria, food debris and mucus and other secretions in the tonsil depression or gap collection, can not be discharged in a timely manner, the formation of a “pocket”, with the passage of time, calcium salts in the deposition of this, or the tissue occurs degenerative calcification, will be Formation of stones.
After the formation of tonsil stones can be eliminated under the guidance of the doctor through warm salt water gargling, oral cleanser, medication, surgery and other methods, patients in their daily lives should be regular brushing, drink more water, appropriate exercise, improve the body’s immune system.
