What are tonsil stones?

Tonsil stones are small lumps of calcified (hardened) material that form in your tonsils’ nooks and crannies. They consist of hardened minerals (like calcium), food debris and bacteria or fungi. They’re rarely harmful, but they can cause bad breath, sore throat, earache and other symptoms. The medical term for tonsil stones is “tonsilloliths.”

Tonsil stones look like tiny white or yellow pebbles on your tonsils. You might have one, or you might have several. They’re usually small, but it’s possible to get large ones.

You can usually remove tonsil stones at home. Rarely, you might need surgery — especially if they keep coming back.

Children’s Dental Health Month!

American Dental Association (ADA) to promote good oral health practices for children and raise awareness about the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene from childhood to adulthood.

The ADA has over 159-thousand members with a mission to help dentists succeed by providing evidence-based insights to provide quality oral care for all patients. Additionally, the ADA advocates for public health by focusing on crucial issues such as access to care, rules and regulations surrounding dentistry, and much more.

One way the ADA does this is through National Children’s Dental Health Month, a time when dental professionals, healthcare providers, and educators promote pediatric oral health through various activities and educational programs. These may include free dental screenings, exams, classroom presentations and activities, community events, and educational blogs like this one!

National Children’s Dental Health Month is an important observance because it helps to promote good oral health habits early in life, which can lead to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums and better overall health.

The theme for National Children’s Dental Health Month changes each year. This year it is “Brush, Floss, Smile.” To help educate the public on the importance of this topic, we thought we would offer some insight into why children’s dental health is important and pass along some of our best “brush, floss, smile” tips.
