Tonsil Stone Quick Problem?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

i always had ones that were in really deep too. the only thing i found that would get them out is a few days of poking around back there with my finger.

i had them for 10yrs before i got my tonsils out. that was in 2009 when i was 23 and i haven't had a problem since then. it was the best decision i ever made and i have not regreted it at all.

i recommend that you see an ENT (ear nose and throat dr) to see about getting your tonsils out.

Hi Jay,

The best way to remove your tonsil stones is to prevent them from forming. It’s true that removing them yourself could be dangerous, you definitely don’t want to hurt yourself.

Tonsil stones (also known as tonsilloliths) are often misdiagnosed and fairly common. They are caused by the accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in your tonsils. These can also lead to bad breath.

Try using an oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash. When used in combination with nasal sinus drops it should eliminate your tonsil stones, and the bad breath that is a side effect.

Do you suffer from post nasal drip? It's common for people that have tonsil stones. If so, have you tried using a nasal-sinus irrigator? It just takes a few minutes a day and will probably be the most effective treatment for you. It will flush out your nasal passageways. That in combination with good oral care (brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day and using a mouthwash) should help. A lot of medications may give you dry mouth which causes bad breath, although they can definitely be helpful too.

Something else you may want to try is an oral care probiotic. There’s a really good site that has tons of information on probiotics here: www.proprobiotics.com

I hope this helps!

I'd recommend seeing your doctor and asking to have your tonsils removed. Tonsil stones can be a pain in the bum and there's not much you can do to remove them yourself short of poking your tonsils which isn't a great idea.

use a magnifying mirror and see iff you can see it when you open your mouth really wide, I poked at one with some metal thing that's supposed to get rid of blackheads, it has a loop one one side and it popped right out
