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.
Well the bacteria from not having good oral hygiene is the thing that builds up in there, you can get smaller ones/ less tonsil stones if you take good care of your mouth
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.
Exactly. I have really bad post nasal drip when my allergies flare up as the seasons change. I brush twice a day and floss daily. And I brush my tongue. I also use mouthwash. My ENT said it’s my anatomy and the side of my tonsils plus the constant post nasal drip. I take meds too. But the stones always come back. Im also a dental professional so my oral hygiene is amazing.
Doctors will not remove your tonsils unless is necessary because its a dangerous surgery a lot of times especially the older you get. Lots of bleeding and can easily open again. Many cases of people getting them out then the stitches coming out early and the wound popping open and bleeding to the point they almost bled out.
@@bella9493 maybe that was the case back in the 90s and early 00s. Not anymore. I had my removed because of them. So you’re wrong about them not taking them out just for stones
@@sgtstudda7873 nope i have tonsil stones and they refused to remove mine for it along with someone else i know. Won't remove hers either and she has gotten tonsillitis many times. They will not do it unless necessary.
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.
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"
After 2 weeks of using Dr.Auchi herbal medicine for my bad breath disease, it was cured. That was the reason I decide to let everyone know that Dr.Auchi herbal medicine worked for me in curing my Bad Breath because it is on RU-vid platform that I found it…✅
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. 😊
@@lauranixon20Yea, it doesn't have anything to do with meat. Dairy is a huge culprit for sure. I used to have them, have talked to many and that was the one link for sure. It's also an immunity issue but the immune system is so complicated.
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
I know 🤦♀️ it's possible to develop tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) even after having a tonsillectomy as a child. Although the removal of the tonsils reduces the likelihood of tonsil stones forming, small remnants of tonsillar tissue or crypts may remain after surgery, providing a potential site for the development of tonsil stones. Additionally, other factors such as poor oral hygiene, post-nasal drip, or bacterial overgrowth in the mouth can contribute to the formation of tonsil stones even in the absence of tonsils.
Tonsil stones can happen also in small sized tonsils. Tonsil stones are hard in texture and yellow or white in color. They're usually small - about the size of a grain of rice - but can grow large, up to about the size of a grape. They're most common in people who have repeated tonsillitis or have large tonsils.
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 😅
im about to have mine removed in november. they smell and i cant stand it anymore so i went to doctor and asked for them to be removed hope recovery isnt to bad
@@jennyneedsmeds yes i did, today is my 11th day and i can finaly eat. It still hurts tho when i eat and drink but i can manage it today, yesterday was a diferent story. The pain wasnt so bad first 5 days when the scrabs formed but on day 5 i got a hemmorhage and had to go back in hospital. then i had to stay in hospital for 3 more days and from that day till 10th i didnt eat anything because of the pain, it was insane i really fealth the agony but i think from this day on it will only get better and im glad im done with this for the rest of my life.
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.
1) doctors don’t recommended shit for tonsil stones and in the United States often refuse to perform the procedure unless your tonsils have begun an infection which can threaten your life 2) it’s painful it swells and has horrible stench 3) salt water helps keep bad bacteria at a minimum but won’t stop the continued growth of plaque nor help with other issues 4) tonsil stones are usually a result of food buildup - you can have an issue with your saliva not being strong enough to break down the food - if you change your diet to cut out certain foods which are more difficult for your saliva to break down you will reduce the amount of tonsil stones you have (Foods like: chips/high starches/high fiber/high carbohydrates -- are designed to be broken down in the intestine :::: not in the mouth so if you eat those food types frequently and don’t chew/swallow every minuscule part you will have eventual build up as tonsil stones) Reduce those more tough food items from your diet and still be healthy - and you’ll notice that your tonsil stones will either remain smaller or become non existent If anyone says ‘huh you must not be brushing your teeth enough’ restrain yourself from knocking their teeth in with a punch and go to a different doctor/dentist for the ones who say that are dogshit and their doctorates should be burned Can also be a result of smoking because of how nicotine is technically a salt and how your saliva is technically a salt - too much salt = calcification within the mouth aka you can get tonsils tones from smoking because it affects your salt levels and your mouths ability to break down food with actually good saliva of normal quality (you’ve got so much salt in your body that your mouth will produce less beneficial saliva)
In some cases, tonsil stones can go away on their own as the tonsils change and shrink over time. If home remedies do not work or the tonsil stones are too large or deeply embedded, it may be necessary to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor.
@@GorgeousSmilesDentistry ya except I have and for the last 20 years they’ve gone ‘huh have you tried brushing you teeth?’ And I have to respond with ‘huh did you really get a medical degree that’s neat?’ But no they won’t remove tonsils because as they said it’s not a serious concern to have them for 20 years. But guess they also said that about my wisdom teeth which I still have and which have become impacted and infected leaking puss and red to even look at. So im gonna see if the infection spreads to the tonsils if I lose my voice or if my jaw decays and if I walk in with an entire infected throat and mouth if maybe just maaaaaybe they’ll think a surgery is an option…. but there’s a goooood chance they’re just gonna try to get me on antibiotics and not really treat me for anything so we’ll see.
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.
@@cleverj90 Hi there, they burn them off and it's about 2-3weeks of discomfort. Also the taste in your mouth is awful for a few weeks as its burnt skin in the back of your throat. If you have it done then I recommend eating crisps as it will help the healing plus you can have ice-cream aswell. The pain is manageable but I will be honest it's very uncomfortable and you'll find it hard to swallow and that's the hardest part. It will ease eventually plus use a decent mouthwash and chew plenty of gum as I was quite embarrassed by my breath afterwards and I had to explain to people that I had my tonsils out. The tonsillectomy is definitely worth having done as I haven't had a tonsil stone for over 12years now. I hope this is enough information for you if not I'll be happy to reply again. Take care
If you have large tonsils and frequently experience tonsil stones when you're sick, it's a good idea to see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist). They can evaluate your condition and discuss potential treatment options. Treatment may involve various approaches such as: Antibiotics: If the tonsil stones are associated with bacterial infections, antibiotics may be prescribed to clear the infection and reduce inflammation. Tonsillectomy: In severe cases or when tonsil stones occur frequently and cause significant discomfort, the doctor may recommend removing the tonsils surgically. Gargling: Regular gargling with salt water or non-alcoholic mouthwash can help dislodge and prevent the formation of tonsil stones. Maintaining good oral hygiene: Brushing your teeth and tongue, as well as using a tongue scraper, can help remove bacteria and food particles that contribute to tonsil stone formation. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help flush out bacteria and food particles from your mouth and throat, reducing the risk of tonsil stones. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your specific condition.
Manually removing them (depending on what u use, how deep ur holes are etc) can also cause damage which is a perfect entry for bacteria ….. There is always bacteria in ur mouth (good and bad ones) in ur mouth. And always food running down ur throat and ur tonsils…..
I have this health issue for many years and recovered finally after using Chinese herb medicine for seven months, I'm sure it is not caused by poor oral hygiene.
Add my tonsils are removed Little over 10 years ago. I don't have to worry about tonsil stones ever again. That's what I get for having strep throat three times in a row
Best way to get them out is first thing in the morning before swallowing anything, that way you don't have to fight against having swallowed all day forcing them farther down

I’ve had tonsil stones for about a year now I have good oral hygiene however I have one large tonsil that never gets smaller. I have a theory that I have for large tonsil because I was I’ll with bronchitis from 9 months old until I was 5 years old due to the pollution in Barcelona where I lived at the time.

Oral hygiene has is very little to do with stones. Its food particles getting stuck in tonsils but rinseing mouth can help... but some ppl have alot more pores in their tonsils so they catch food more often...doctors will only take tonsils out if you have hard time eatinv or breathing.
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your job. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthy and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job. If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best doctor. Thank you Dr Emovon on RU-vid for curing my bad breath naturally...……❤❤
Got after my left side ear, to nose to throat got hurt multiple times due to accident. My ear got clogged up, hurts all the time, feels numb, ringing occasionally, my left nose always stuffy, also my throat, feels something stuck in there all time & sometimes when i can get thay thing out, its the only time my throat feels "free". Keeping hygiene on top of my priorities all time. Didnt get these before, so i think its started after the accident.
Another reason for tonsil stones is your dietary practice..eating fatty food. Try to lessen these types of food and u will observe less or even no appearance of tonsil stones...
Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, can sometimes develop when someone catches a cold due to increased mucus and debris accumulating in the tonsil crypts. Here are steps to manage and remove them: Gargling: Gargle with warm salt water several times a day to help dislodge the stones and reduce inflammation. Use mouthwash to help clean the area and reduce bacteria. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and help prevent the formation of additional stones. Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly to prevent the accumulation of food particles and bacteria that can contribute to stone formation. Use a tongue scraper to reduce bacteria in the mouth. Manual Removal: Gently remove visible stones using a cotton swab or the back of a toothbrush. Be careful not to injure the tonsils. Diet: Avoid foods that can leave residue in the mouth, such as dairy products, which can contribute to stone formation. Medical Treatment: If tonsil stones are large, recurrent, or causing significant discomfort, consult a doctor. They may recommend a professional cleaning or, in severe cases, surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy). If the cold is causing significant symptoms or complications, treating the underlying infection with appropriate medications and rest is also essential. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.
My dentist said I'm pretty good with my oral hygiene, so idky i got tonsil stone. But my ENT did recommend for me to remove my tonsil so i did it because it became enlarge
In some cases, tonsil stones can lead to chronic tonsil inflammation or infection of your tonsils, called tonsillitis. But in many cases, they are simply a nuisance. If you have a history of developing tonsil stones, the best way to get rid of them permanently is to remove your tonsils.basically, If tonsil stones cause symptoms or keep coming back, you might need to explore surgical options.
In fact, tonsil stones often fall out on their own eventually and the underlying cause goes away. But if you get them frequently, or if they cause uncomfortable symptoms, your provider can recommend other treatments.
@@amanialfadly1114 first couple of days were okay but when it starts to scab over is when it is terrible. I’d say day three to day ten is the worst. Still totally worth it
Η κόρη μου έχει κάποιες φορές, και πονούσε πολύ όταν καταπινε. Την πρώτη φορά τις αφαίρεσε ο γιατρός. Τις επόμενες φορές εγώ. Της έμαθα να το κάνει μόνη της Πιέζει με το δάχτυλο ακριβώς δίπλα, και η πέτρα πετάγεται έξω. Μετά κάνει γαργάρες με αντισηπτικό διάλυμα hexalen. Το κάνει πολύ εύκολα τώρα πια. Και τώρα μάλιστα έχει πολύ καιρό να έχει πέτρες. Ελπίζω να βοήθησα. ❤️
Had the worst pain for a week…just randomly brushed my teeth and I’m pretty sure one popped…was spitting a tiny amount of blood for a second but I can actually swallow now lol
some people report that they still get stones even after a tonsillectomy. This could happen if not all the tonsil tissue is removed, stones form in crevices in scar tissue that develop after surgery, or stones grow in other similar tissues like the adenoids.
Thank you for the question. Gargling with salt water can help alleviate the discomfort associated with tonsil stones and may help reduce their size temporarily. Salt water can also help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria in the throat. However, gargling with salt water is unlikely to completely remove tonsil stones. Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are hardened deposits of mucus, bacteria, and debris that become trapped in the tonsils. While gargling with salt water may dislodge some smaller tonsil stones, larger or more deeply embedded stones may require other treatment methods. If you frequently experience tonsil stones or have large or bothersome tonsil stones that are difficult to remove, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on appropriate treatment options, which may include techniques for removing tonsil stones or, in severe cases, surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy).
The good news is that tonsil stones aren't dangerous and usually don't cause more than bad breath. They can often be treated without surgery. “While a tonsillectomy, surgery to remove the tonsils, can eliminate tonsils stones, it's not necessary in most cases.
Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, can be identified through several signs and symptoms. Here are the key indicators: Bad Breath (Halitosis): Persistent bad breath, even with good oral hygiene, can be a sign of tonsil stones. Sore Throat: Chronic or recurrent sore throat might be due to the presence of tonsil stones. Visible Stones: White or yellowish debris on the tonsils can often be seen when you look in the mirror with a flashlight. Difficulty Swallowing: A sensation of something being stuck in the back of the throat or difficulty swallowing might indicate tonsil stones. Ear Pain: Although the stones are in the tonsils, they can cause referred pain to the ear due to shared nerve pathways. Swollen Tonsils: Inflammation and swelling of the tonsils may occur. Chronic Cough: A persistent cough may be triggered by the irritation from tonsil stones.
Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are small, whitish or yellowish calcified formations that can develop in the tonsil crypts. While tonsil stones themselves may not always cause noticeable symptoms or harm, there are several reasons why they are typically not left untreated: Bad breath (halitosis): Tonsil stones often emit a foul odor due to the bacteria and debris trapped within them. This can lead to chronic bad breath, which can be socially embarrassing and affect quality of life. Discomfort or pain: Tonsil stones can sometimes cause discomfort or pain, particularly if they become large or cause irritation to the tonsils or surrounding tissues. Risk of infection: Tonsil stones can provide a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of infection in the tonsils (tonsillitis) or the surrounding tissues. Recurrent tonsil infections can lead to complications and may require medical intervention. Difficulty swallowing: Large tonsil stones or a buildup of smaller stones can cause difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or the sensation of a foreign object in the throat. Recurrent tonsil stones: Even if tonsil stones are removed, they can recur if the underlying cause, such as chronic inflammation or debris accumulation in the tonsil crypts, is not addressed. Leaving tonsil stones untreated may lead to persistent symptoms and recurrent episodes. While small tonsil stones may sometimes resolve on their own or go unnoticed, larger or symptomatic tonsil stones may require intervention. Treatment options may include gentle removal of the tonsil stones at home using a cotton swab or oral irrigator, gargling with salt water, or seeking medical attention for more severe cases. In some cases, if tonsil stones recur frequently or cause significant symptoms, surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) may be recommended as a more permanent solution. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management of tonsil stones.
Good oral hygiene, including gargling with warm salt water, can helpmanage most tonsil stones. In rare cases, an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist may need to surgically remove your tonsil stones,if they become very large.
No only solution is remove that white or yellow green color when you get out tonsil stone your throat will feel good! Infection from that is very2 hurt because tonsil stone smell rotten mouse when you pop it
I know. Annoying 🤦♀️ Poor oral hygiene, as well as tobacco use, can increase the likelihood of tonsil stones. But in other individuals, it's the structure of the tonsils themselves that makes them more prone to developing tonsil stones.
If your doctor has recommended surgery, it's likely because the benefits outweigh the potential risks in your specific case. It's important to discuss any concerns you have with your healthcare provider, who can provide detailed information based on your medical history and the severity of your condition. Tonsil stone surgery, often referred to as a tonsillectomy when the tonsils are removed entirely, is generally considered a safe and routine procedure.
