White Bumps on Tonsils, What Are They?

Open your mouth in front of a mirror. By any chance do you see any white bumps on tonsils? They resemble marbles or look like white debris. Are there any? If they are visible, then you have what are called tonsil stones.

Also named tonsilloliths, they are actually left over bacteria that did not get properly processed and remained captured and hidden in the folds of our tonsils. Designed to be the quarantine division of our mouths, the tonsils are suppose to filter all the substances we consume - may they be food, drinks, air, cigars, or even nasal drips. If a person's circulatory system is functioning well, then the unwanted toxins should rightfully proceed to being excreted as waste, sweat or urine. But if you have little or no physical activity, it is highly possible that your blood will not flow properly. Hence, the result would be having contaminants left at the back of your tongue. They then combine with minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are inherent in that area and hence, cause the build-up of these formations.
