If<unk>  do not bother a person, no treatment is needed. Otherwise gargling saltwater and manual removal may be tried. Chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride may also be tried. Surgical treatment may include partial or complete<unk>  removal. Some people are able to remove<unk>  using a cotton swab or finger. Oral irrigators are also effective. Most electric oral irrigators are unsuitable for<unk> removal because they are too powerful and are likely to cause discomfort and rupture the<unk> s, which could result in further complications such as infection. Irrigators that connect directly to the sink tap via a threaded attachment or otherwise are suitable for<unk> removal and everyday washing of the<unk> s because they can jet water at low-pressure levels that the user can adjust by simply turning the sink tap, allowing for a continuous range of pressures to suit each user's requirements. There are also manually pressurized<unk> removers which are available. A manual pump-type<unk> remover can adjust the water pressure depending on the number of pumps, effectively removing<unk> . More simply still, gargling with warm, salty water may help alleviate the discomfort of<unk> litis, which often accompanies<unk> . Vigorous gargling each morning can also keep the<unk>  crypts clear of all but the most persistent<unk> loliths. Curettage Larger<unk>  may require removal by curettage (scooping) or otherwise, although thorough irrigation will still be required afterward to effectively wash out smaller pieces. Larger lesions may require local excision, although these treatments may not completely help the bad breath issues that are often associated with this condition. Laser Another option is to decrease the surface area (crypts, crevices, etc.) of the<unk> s via laser resurfacing. The procedure is called a laser cryptolysis. It can be performed using a local anesthetic. A scanned carbon dioxide laser selectively vaporizes and smooths the surface of the<unk> s. This technique flattens the edges of the crypts and crevices that collect the debris, preventing trapped material from forming<unk> . Surgery<unk> lectomy may be indicated if bad breath due to<unk> lar<unk>  persists despite other measures.
