6. Eating Plain Yogurt
Eating plain yogurt is a long-term solution that may prevent the build-up of bacteria in the mouth, which causes tonsil stones. Plain yogurt contains probiotics and a host of immune-boosting nutrients.
Although yogurt isn't an immediate cure to dislodge stones, it may help keep the mouth healthy. The calcium in yogurt can also help build stronger teeth and healthy gums. The good bacteria in yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt, may help balance the oral microbiome.3‘New Study Shows Yogurt Consumption Could Lower Gum Disease Risk.’ Contemporary Dentistry PLLC, www.dentistrywithaheart.com/blog/new-study-shows-yogurt-consumption-could-lower-gum-disease-risk/.
