WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TONSIL STONES AND HOW TO GET RID OF THEM
Identification
Tonsil stones are hard masses that form inside folds of tissue located in the back of the throat (the tonsils). Tonsil stones are whitish-yellow in color and have a pungent, foul odor that contributes to bad breath.
The average size of a tonsil stone is around the size of a BB or small pea. Upon reaching this size, they often become dislodged while clearing the throat or breathing heavily (due to physical exertion for example).
Symptoms:
- Bad breath
- A feeling that something is stuck in the back of the throat
- Pressure or pain in the ears
- Difficulty swallowing
- Sore throat
Sometimes it's possible to see tonsil stones using a mirror. They will be located in the back of the throat towards either side. However, if they are lodged deep inside the tonsils they are not always visible.
Amazing Breath changed my life! Not one single tonsil stone since I started using it. My mouth feels great and I'm much more confident in my breath now. Thank you!!*

What Causes Tonsil Stones To Form
Most often oral plaque is responsible for tonsil stone formation. Oral plaque is a sticky, colorless film containing millions of bacteria. These bacteria continually multiply, forming more plaque that spreads in places throughout the mouth.
The spread of plaque, if not disrupted, will form layers that coat parts of the teeth, tongue, and gumline. Underneath these layers of plaque are pockets of low-oxygen environments where anaerobic bacteria thrive, also reaching millions in number.
When there are high populations of plaque and its associated bacteria present in the mouth, there are also high amounts in the saliva. There are untold billions more bacteria that are swallowed each day when oral plaque is present compared to when it is not.
As saliva travels down the throat, the tonsils act as a bacteria filter. If the tonsils become overwhelmed, the bacteria can accumulate, clumping together along with various debris. The clumps eventually harden, forming tonsil stones.
Connection With Bad Breath
Tonsil Stones are connected with bad breath for two main reasons:
1. The plaque-associated bacteria that grows on the tongue, teeth and gum-line (the main cause of tonsil stone formation) include a type of bacteria classified as gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria are known to release Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC's)– otherwise known as bad breath.
2. Because tonsil stones are partially made up of gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, tonsil stones themselves release VSC's.
While tonsil stones themselves release VSC's, they are often not the root cause of bad breath, or its largest contributor. Usually, the plaque-associated bacteria growing on the tongue, teeth, and gum-line are responsible for most VSC's.
How to Prevent Tonsil Stones
Since tonsil stones originate from plaque growth on the tongue, teeth, and gum-line, reducing this plaque and its associated bacteria in these areas is key to preventing tonsil stones.
-
Tongue Scrape Daily
Because of its large surface area and porous texture, the tongue is a perfect environment for bacterial growth, having the potential to be the single largest contributor to tonsil stone formation.
Use a tongue scraper to remove plaque on the surface of the tongue. Once this layer is removed, the anaerobic bacteria underneath will be exposed to oxygen and unable to survive.
-
Brush and Floss Daily
Failure to brush and floss every day can enable bacteria levels to spiral out of control on the surface of the teeth and on the gum-line, leading to not only tonsil stones, but many other oral care problems.
-
Schedule a Dental Cleaning
Dental visits every six months will help make sure plaque growth is kept to a minimum and the mouth is in good condition. This will make it much easier to keep bacteria levels low in between dental visits thereby decreasing the risk of tonsil stone formation.
-
Use Amazing Breath to Slow Down Bacterial Growth
Amazing Breath helps quickly and easily control the bacteria populations responsible for tonsil stones in a very unique and effective way.
One of the biggest reasons so many people deal with tonsil stones and other plaque-related problems is the lack of effectiveness of most store-bought toothpastes and mouthwashes.
The reason they are ineffective is that when the bacteria are cleaned away or killed using these products, the bacteria return afterwards and start forming plaque again very quickly.
The rapid return of bacteria is enabled by two things: 1) the bacteria's extremely fast growth rate capability and 2) the readily available microscopic food particles and debris that act as their food source, fueling their fast growth rate.
These microscopic food particles and debris get stuck in tiny cracks and crevices in the teeth, gums, and around the mouth where they are very difficult, if not impossible to reach by brushing, flossing and tongue scraping alone. Toothpastes and mouthwashes can reach these areas but are only formulated to destroy the bacteria, not their food sources.
In order to effectively reduce plaque-associated bacteria and therefore tonsil stones, it is necessary to both kill the bacteria and slow down their growth rate. This can be accomplished by destroying the microscopic food sources in addition to the bacteria through Amazing Breath's patented oxidation formulation.
Amazing Breath's liquid formula will reach into the tiny cracks and crevices of the mouth, oxidizing trapped microscopic food particles and organic debris that bacteria use as a food source. With their food sources degraded, bacteria will have difficulty multiplying fast enough to reach the large populations that form plaque. Consistent low levels of plaque means common oral hygiene problems such as tonsil stones, bad breath, gingivitis, and cavities are much less likely to occur.

Amazing Breath has become a "must have" for me. It has solved my issues with chronic tonsil stones. Naturally, that leads to over all improved breath. In fact, I recently ran out and after a couple of weeks my daughter was letting me know my breath was funky even AFTER brushing my teeth with regular toothpaste. Looks like Amazing Breath has to stay a priority hygiene product for me. I've been using it for about nine months now and it truly does make a huge difference.*

I am genuinely very satisfied with this product. I was skeptical at first, but when I started using it, I was grateful to the universe every time because I finally have fresh breath (as in my mask doesn’t smell). My tonsil stones are lessened to none. No mints needed, fresher breath the whole day. I highly recommend this product. It is worth my money and I will keep using it. Thank you!!! I give you five stars!!!!*

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do you use Amazing Breath?
Amazing Breath is doctor-formulated to deliver a whole new level of oral care while making it fast and easy, taking just 60-90 seconds twice a day. Read below to get an idea of what it's like to use Amazing Breath daily.
The Routine:
Create Oxidyne
Combine the Synergizer and Activator solutions together in the provided Oxidyne Measuring Cup to the indicated lines. The solutions are now activated and Oxidyne is created.
Brush Teeth With Oxidyne
Take about 1/3 of the Oxidyne into your mouth, insert your toothbrush, and gently brush your teeth with it, making sure to reach all the surface areas of the teeth and the gumline. Spit out.
Clean Tongue
Use the Tongue Cleaner to clean your tongue. Start on the back of your tongue and go to the tip. Clean the entire top surface of the tongue using gentle pressure. Rinse the scraping edge after each stroke.
Rinse With Oxidyne
Take the remaining Oxidyne and swish it around your mouth as you would with mouthwash and then spit out.
Using Amazing Breath With or Without Toothpaste
Amazing Breath can be used with or without toothpaste. For more details about this and other information about using Amazing Breath, please refer to our full directions.
Additional Notes
For Amazing Breath to help reduce and prevent plaque, it must be used twice daily. This is because it works by helping to control the population of plaque-forming bacteria. This bacteria can grow very quickly so it's important to use Amazing Breath twice daily as directed.
Amazing Breath is shipped in concentrate form. You must dilute the concentrates (the small bottles) with water (using the large empty bottles). This takes 30 seconds or so and only needs to be done once every two weeks if used twice daily.
-
How can I remove existing tonsil stones?
Tonsil stones often become dislodged on their own, and if they are not increasing in size due to the prevention methods above, they are likely to shrink and dissolve over time.
In some cases, they might need to be removed. The following methods may be tried:
- Gargle with salted water.
- Clear throat or cough to try and dislodge.
- Visit a dentist or ENT Doctor for removal.
-
How does Amazing Breath work, and how is it different from other products?
Amazing Breath works because it helps to control plaque growth¹. Its unique effectiveness in performing this task enables us to make our night and day difference guarantee, which promises a cleaner feeling mouth, fewer tonsil stones, smoother teeth, and fresh neutral breath or your money back. These guaranteed results, after all, are simply indications of less plaque growth.
Why Plaque is Bad
Plaque consists of bacteria that release acids that slowly erode the teeth and gums. Plaque bacteria continually multiply and spread throughout the mouth. Plaque growth, if not disrupted, will form layers that coat parts of the teeth, tongue, and gumline.
Underneath these layers of plaque are pockets of low-oxygen environments where anaerobic bacteria thrive. These bacteria release Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC's)– otherwise known as bad breath.
Plaque and its associated bacteria are responsible for the vast majority of oral hygiene problems, which become more severe over time if not addressed.
Common problems associated with plaque:
- Bad breath
- Tonsil Stones
- Rough, dirty feeling teeth
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Sensitivity to hot and cold
- Tooth pain
- Cavities
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen gums
- Throbbing gums during exercise
- Loose teeth
- And many other common oral care problems
Controlling plaque is a life-long battle that is central to oral hygiene. A mouth with high levels of plaque feels unhealthy with problems like the ones listed above. A mouth with low levels of plaque feels clean and healthy with smooth teeth and fresh neutral breath.
Having low levels of plaque not only improves quality of life by keeping your mouth clean and fresh, but it can also help prevent very serious and expensive problems. If plaque overgrowth is not addressed it can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss.
The Amazing Breath Difference
When Amazing Breath's two solutions are mixed together, they create Oxidyne™, our activated formula that destroys both plaque-forming bacteria and their food sources (microscopic food particles/debris) by oxidation.
Other products do a good job killing plaque-forming bacteria, but they leave many of their food sources behind. This is because toothpastes and mouthwashes are not formulated to destroy the microscopic organic debris that bacteria feed on, and toothbrushes and floss cannot reach many of the tiny cracks and crevices where they collect.
If food sources for bacteria are left behind after you clean your teeth, bacteria can return to feed on them and multiply, forming plaque again rapidly. When the food sources are oxidized by Amazing Breath, the bacteria cannot feed and multiply. This helps to slow down the growth of plaque.
Because of this unique capability, Amazing Breath represents a dramatic improvement over the products you are used to. By the end of your Starter Kit, you'll notice a night and day difference or your money back.
-
Do I need to continue using Amazing Breath after I see results?
Controlling plaque is a life-long battle that is central to oral hygiene. If plaque overgrowth is not kept in check on a daily basis, plaque-related problems including tonsil stones could return.
For Amazing Breath to help reduce plaque, it must be used twice daily as directed¹ on an ongoing basis.
-
