“How do I stop getting tonsil stones?”

Brush your teeth twice a day, or after meals, floss at least once a day. By flossing you stop getting food trapped between the teeth and in hard-to-reach areas. Clean your tongue to prevent plaque and bacteria. People who have more tonsillar crypts tend to develop more tonsil stones. To remove the stone permanently you can have a tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils). Thank you.

The surest means is to have a tonsillectomy. You can attempt to gargle them out or manually debride them.

Preventing the growth of tonsil stones completely is almost impossible. For people who have chronic tonsillitis, a tonsillectomy may be the only way to prevent tonsil stones.

However, good oral hygiene, including frequent brushing and flossing, can help. Irrigating the tonsils and mouth with a water sprayer can remove debris and bacteria, reducing the risk of tonsil stones.
