To use apple cider vinegar for fresh breath, dilute one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Gargle with this mixture for 30 seconds to one minute, then spit it out.

Tonsil stones are risk-free buildup that will go away on their own. However, the duration of tonsil stones can vary from person to person. They may go away or melt on their own in a short period, or they can also stay for weeks if they are deep in the throat and bacteria continue to grow on them. Besides, if proper oral hygiene is not performed, it may last for years and lead to a more serious problem, such as tonsillitis.
The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups for Fresher Breath
Keeping an eye on your oral health for signs of cavities is important to prevent further tooth decay. Regular visits to the dentist can ensure any early signs are caught and teeth are receiving professional cleaning.

Smell and taste contribute to our enjoyment of life by stimulating a desire to eat which not only nourishes our bodies, but also enhances our social activities. When smell and taste become impaired, we eat poorly, socialize less, and feel worse. Smell and taste warn us of dangers, such as fire, poisonous fumes, and spoiled food. Loss of the sense of smell may indicate sinus disease, growths in the nasal passages, or, at times, brain tumors.
If tonsil stones are large in size, they can lead to swallowing and may also trigger infections. These stones can sometimes cause a number of side effects like sore throat, swelling, cough, ear pain, and irritation (a sensation of a foreign substance in the throat), etc.
