Tonsil Stones and how to avoid them !

[nunyabidness]

It’s not about oral hygiene. It’s food debris that gets stuck in the holes on ur tonsils mixed with the bacteria from ur mouth that then builds up and solidifies.

Always remove. It ain’t worth hassle because nothing works even if you gargle, and keep good dental hygiene. I’m happy I got my tonsils removed.

My tonsils are so small a doctor once asked if they were removed, I never get t tonsillitis, yet I get tonsil stones. It's probably allergies and post-nasal drip. But there's like tiny holes or crevices and I think that's all it takes is a place for it to build up over time.

I’m mad why are you not scraping up the tonsil stones!?

[Trollinskyy]

I feel I have great oral hygiene! I brush twice a day at minimum!!! I haven’t had a cavity since I was younger and didn’t! Wtf why do I get these

I use my water pik after I do oil pulling. It works wonders. I also stopped consuming dairy. Never had tonsil stones again after that.

It has nothing to do with Oral hygiene.

Tonsils are two glandular masses of lymph node-like tissue located on both sides of the throat. The function of the tonsils is to trap bacteria and viruses that may enter the body through the throat. However, sometimes the tonsils themselves become infected.

When, I was a teenager, I got them. I used a crochet needle to hook stones & removed them. Didn't tell parents or friends. Switched to vegetarian diet never returned. 😊

I had my tonsils removed as a kid and still get them once in a while so its the tonsils arent the problem

I always brush my teeth, always brushed as a little kid too. But I still got really bad tonsil stones, this must be about 15 years ago now, I got my tonsils removed. My mum has only just in the last 10 years started to get tonsil stones too! She brushes day and night, great oral hygiene, I think my family just suffer from larger tonsils 😅

It’s food particles in most cases. Just avoid eating peanuts of which particles stuck one the tiny spaces of tonsiles. If it accumulates the best way to get rid of it is to use 20ml. syringe and rinse directly between the palatolinqual fold and tonsile. Its even better than waterpick in this case.

I got them removed as a kid cause they always got infected and I was always sick. It was extremely painful and when I see clips like this one I’m kinda glad I went through the pain

[lacieglass]

I have great oral hygiene but bad tonsil stones and im very very scared to see an ent. They’ve already agreed to surgery but they said they have to scrape the stones out first and i have an awful gag reflex.

I just had my tonsils removed at age 35 because of chronic tonsillitis and stones. The recovery for an adult IS as bad as they say. Its absolutely horrible. And im a stay home mom. Didnt get a break at all. My husband tried to help, but the kids aren't used to having him home during the day. They put him through the ringer with the "we like the way mom does it"

It’s the chronic sinus issues for me. My dr said I have the tiniest tonsils she’s ever seen, but I still get tonsil stones!

[_sunchildd]

i have rly good oral hygiene but i have little holes/crypts in my tonsils which they will get stuck in. i read online that it's unknown what exactly caused them, food debris that calcifies. but i've noticed when i eat bread, cereal, pizza or rice that i'll get them more.

I had my tonsill removed, but still had the tonsilstones.

Stop drinking milk and other dairy products helped me too get rit of them.

[Malepical]

I have large tonsils and I get these every time I get sick
