A member asked:

Is it normal to have yellow bumps on the side of your mouth by your tonsils and on the back of your tongue? i don't brush my teeth often.

Yellow bumps: This sounds like you have folds, pockets or divets where food and bacterial debris can accumulate. This can set up a low grade infection process that can flare up an become serious if not monitored and/or cleaned out sufficiently.
