The dentist told me that I have "huge tonsils?"?!


Question: The dentist told me that I have "huge tonsils.?".?
They are in perfect health, I've never had any problems with them. Never had tonsilitis etc...

Has anyone ever been told this.? Has it caused you any long term problems.? My dentist said it's not a problem, that I just have large tonsils.

I don't snore, and I don't have sleep apnea (because my husband would've been more than happy to tell me if I did, because I give him a hard time for snoring)

I'm just curious....

Answers:
Since you don't have a problem with your tonsils,it hardly matters if they are big or small.According to an earlier belief tonsils were considered to be the culprits for those who used to get throat infection too often and surgical removal of tonsils was done.In fact tonsils play a very important role for us.They are like two watch dogs guarding against harmful bacteria and virus and filter out the pathogens.They play an important role in development of human immune system and tonsils have a relevance to the further comprehension of HIV and it's eventual cure.There are no reports on big tosils causing long term problems.So be happy with what ever you have and others don't have.Health Question & Answer
