Answer: Yes
An interesting study was done on patients with chronic tonsillitis. It was designed to look for changes in sulfur gas concentrations (a measurement of breath odor) after tonsillectomy. Measurements were taken at 1 day before operation and 2 weeks post operative. The amount of sulfur gases decreased significantly after 2 weeks compared to preoperative values.
This and several other studies have demonstrated that the quality of breath typically improves following the removal of tonsils. Generally, tonsils have a rough texture, bearing resemblance to the lunar surface with its many craters or a lava rock with numerous small crevices. These irregular surfaces can trap bacteria and debris, which are difficult to dislodge. Consequently, these crevices can transform into a thriving habitat for bacteria that instigate halitosis, or bad breath.
Tonsil removal is an example of treating something other than teeth or gums and obtaining improved breath odor. This suggests an explanation of why our method of gargling is so helpful. It seems reasonable to try gargling the Pristine Breath way first before turning to tonsillectomy for decreasing bad breath.
