Recently I’ve been getting pretty bad tonsil stones. I only brush once a day and don’t floss or use mouth wash, so today I bought some of those floss stick things, some mouth wash, and plan on brushing morning and night. Are there any other tips to avoid getting tonsil stones?? I have SUPER bad gag reflex and every time I feel one it makes me want to puke and it’s even worse when it comes out. Last night I spent 15 minutes trying to get a HUGE one out that had been stuck for days and only ended up getting half of it out, so this morning I tried again and had to dig it out three different times because it kept breaking off because it was so big. This is the first time I had to dig one out because it had been stuck for so long and annoying me, so I feel like they are getting worse. Also I read that you should use mouth wash that doesn’t have alcohol in it to prevent tonsil stones, but the store closest to my house didn’t have a huge selection of mouth wash and all of the had alcohol listed in the “non active” section of ingredients. Does that mean it has alcohol in it?? If you know of any mouth wash without alcohol in it please let me know, and any other helpful tips. Thanks!
