Better Food Choices
Study shows that bacteria can be found in foods with high sugar levels. This is because bacteria need energy to thrive, and sugar can be broken down into particles that provide substantial energy for the growth and development of bacteria.
A person with a high-sugar diet feeds the microbes through the food they consume, helping them breed and spread infections easily. As a result, it fuels bacterial growth, which is harmful because it increases the risk of tonsil stones.
Maintain proper health and diet by avoiding sweets and carbonated drinks to reduce the bacteria buildup inside the mouth. Instead, try to incorporate fruits and vegetables for proper nutrition. There are also specific foods that help in maintaining good oral health condition, like apples and carrots. Researchers concluded that the acid content of apples is beneficial in removing tonsil stones. Carrots require a longer period of chewing, resulting in high saliva production. The saliva is needed to neutralize the pH balance of the mouth to prevent bacteria-causing tonsil stones.
