The problem is that I often get small white stone from my throat which has got a very offending smell. Is this the sign of bad breath?

Get a tongue scraper and buy oxyfresh toothpaste. It works very well. It has oxygene in it and kills the bacteria on your tongue. Go to

Gargle with baking soda and salt. It tastes ugly but it takes away your bad breathe and better yet, it kills all the germs!
Get 1 table spoon of salt and one table spoon of baking soda in a cup and add water. Gargle…
Scrape your tongue and floss!!

You need to see your doctor. It sounds like your tonsils are infected.

Tonsillolith (syn: tonsil stone, calculi of the tonsil) a ball-like accumulation of food particles, bacteria, leukocytes, dead white cells, and dried mucus in the folds of tonsils. These folds are referred to as crypts. The balls of bacteria and their waste products are colored white or yellow, have a rough texture resembling cottage cheese or cauliflower, and convey an extremely foul odor. Tonsilloliths may contribute to halitosis and sore throats.
Prevention methods include gargling with salt water or a non-alcohol, non-sugar based mouth wash. A cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide applied directly on the tonsil stones will not dislodge them as you may have read; it only makes one’s mouth feel weird and causes gagging. The use of a water pick to clear out the crypts of accumulated debris may also help (the lower pressure tongue-cleaner attachment is recommended). A more drastic method, a tonsillectomy, is not usually indicated or recommended, but will lead to permanent relief.
It is important to remember that although tonsil stones can be uncomfortable, they are rarely ever dangerous and can be seen as more of an inconvenience than anything else.
I have these also and use a saltwater rinse. I also use a antibacterial wash like listerine(hate the taste and the smell but it’s better then the bad breath)

When brushing your teeth ( and do THAT OFTEN ), finish by brushing your TONGUE, and the ROOF of your mouth..it does wonders for me….Also, another tip is to acquire chlorophyll capsules, or tablets from a health food store or vitamin catalog service….swallow them once or sometimes even twice a day…

If there is white stuff present, you could have thrush. Go to your dentist and show him what’s going on. Thrush won’t go away from just brushing your teeth and will have a very bad smell.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re referring to as “a small white stone from your throat” you should see your doctor. Your tonsils will fill up with “poisons” if they’re fighting off some kind of infection…this sounds like what you might be dealing with.
As for offensive breath…drinking lots of water & eating watery foods (cucumbers, melons, etc.) will help tame your breath. Then of course, good brushing, mouthwashes, etc.
