Tonsil stones are among the major causes of bad breath. They are more common in people who have suffered chronic inflammation in their tonsil or have had repeated bouts of tonsil stones. Also, its a known fact that they are more common in children than in adults.
The biggest problem with tonsil stones is that when they combine with the volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria beneath the surface of your tongue, they can also cause chronic and severe bad breath. If you do not have your tonsils then you will not, under most circumstances, experience tonsil stones.
