I have invented a good way to get them out. Take an empty tube from a sample sized toothpaste, punch a tiny hole in the cap. Fill it with water and squish the tube while aiming at tonsil stones, the stream of water will get them out... I was struggling for so many years getting them out with picks until I got this idea.

BigMon Tv BDJSBSJDJS WHY IS THAT TRUE

As someone who constantly has tonsil stones, when they get too uncomfortable I go to the ent doctor for them to take them out. They told me that a reason some people are more prone to having these is because of the way your tonsil is made, some people have way more "holes" in their tonsils so it's easier for food to get stuck there, but it also means that you're less likely to be sick all the time cause they also grab a lot of germes. All in all, super uncomfortable, you look crazy making faces trying to get them out and when they get out it's worth a mini celebration, but it never caused me actual health problems

@benjaminstiles

It would seem as though I may have some smooth as heck tonsils then.

Some tips to prevent tonsil stones that work for me. 1. Besides the obvious brushing teeth in the morning/night. When brushing tongue, brush it as good as you can, gag a lot if you have to, it will loosen the stones. 2. Buy a tongue scraper (the metal ones are the best) 2. Get a curved syringe (like the ones they give you after you get wisdom teeth removed) squirt water directly at your tonsils after you eat to prevent them building up. 3. I know ppl suggest a water pik but unless it’s at a very low setting, it can actually cause your tonsils to bleed. The syringe is better. 4. Saltwater rinse. I find listerine didn’t help at all. The salt water gets rid of bacteria and also soothes throat. 5. Drink water! I know this is obvious but when you’re eating, drink water to make sure you’re flushing all your food down and reduce chances of food sitting on your tongue. I haven’t got any in almost 3 weeks since I started doing this. And I stick my tongue out to smell my breath (idk if that makes sense) and I don’t smell that tonsil stone smell so I know I don’t have any.

First though, you need to get it out, and to make it stop coming I guess you just eat that for a while. After two months of eating that, i ate the same stuff I would normally eat. It stopped coming for me. ❤️ Although I'm not an expert in that kind of stuff, I really hope your tonsils come out and they stop coming.

Another way to help remove the stones is to use a glass (carefully) or hard acrylic medicine dropper (soft tube doesn't work). Gently squeeze the bulb, place the tip of the dropper on the stone, and release the bulb. The suction should grab hold of the stone and pull it out or suck it into the tube itself. Repeat if necessary.

I was able to remove mine with the tail of a teaspoon.

In order to make it easier, I used ice, both in my mouth and on the teaspoon aswell so it made it a lot easier to work. I simply scraped the soft and stinky stones off the tonsils, gargled non-alcooholic mouthwash and I completely got rid of the discomfort I used to feel before.

I had this problem everyday of my life from the time I was a kid. I recently changed my diet to a lower carb and sugar diet and started eating more fresh veggies and fruit. And guess what happened? The stones went away. Seriously. First time ever in my life and they are gone. Totally convinced it comes from an unhealthy diet.

I try to drink water every time I'm done eating something and this helped me a lot to deal with tonsil stones, because the water washes out all of the food that may be stuck in your throat. Also I tried taking probiotics from time to time and eating a lot of apples, carrots and other fruits and vegetables. I hope this info is helpful for somebody who is struggling with that, I know feeling.

The only thing 'bad' for you about it is the lactose, and the fat if you're the sort to freak out about that stuff. In-fact, its a big part of many diets, including Mediterranean, which is one of the healthiest.

I ended up having to get my tonsils removed due to my tonsil stones at the age of 22. Always had problems with my tonsils and ulcers, but once I reached my twenties, the stones became recurring. Went to an ENT and explained my situation of having a few tonsil stones about once a week. He looked in my throat for 5 seconds and was like “yeah those need to come out”. Get them removed 2 weeks later and he told me one pocket was just filled to the brim with them and causing irritation and swelling. Since then I haven’t had any problems with my throat in regards to soreness.

Would be interesting to learn more about the tonsils. Particularly tonsillitis and similar infections, as well as the benefits/drawbacks of tonsillectomy.

great content, thank you!

I remember when I spit up one as a kid, I thought they were parts of my bones and that my bones were decaying 😭

For most of my childhood people had a hard time understanding me because my tonsils were super large and muffled my voice. My general practitioner at the time said that they were fine. A few years later they left and I went to a new GP, and upon discussion of my voice they sent me to an ear, nose and throat specialist, who looked at my throat once and declared my tonsils were long dead. They had my tonsils and adenoids removed and for the first time people didn't constantly ask me to repeat what I was saying.

Cool video! You guys could do a version of this considering people that had their tonsils removed by surgery. I don't have my tonsils and I know many people that had them removed as well.

Heres a tip, if its in like a pocket in your tonsil and can't push it out use a floss pick and try to get under or over it and scoop it out, this usually works with me, yes there might be a little bit of blood if you scrap the pocket that stone is in but don't worry it took me about 20 minutes to get it out and it cane out and instant sore throat relief, if that doesn't work break it up into smaller pieces it may take longer but those chunks may come out one by one

Very good information thanks doctor

I found out because I saw it in my mouth when my throat hurt and I was checking for signs of strept.. I miss my grandpa.. I wish I could’ve found that out sooner so he could’ve known and had non death breath for a short time

I heard things about getting tonsils removed from someone. Does tonsillectomy really increase the weight?

So I have a question. A lot of articles say go see an ENT and while they do get them out quickly, no one can afford going every time they have a tonsil stone. At least for those of us that get them all the time. So my question is, is why has no one invented a small vacuum like the ENT has for individuals to purchase? I have look everywhere and there isn't one legit tonsil stone remover that has suction and for those of us with bad gag reflexes, the suction makes it so much easier and quicker.

My tonsils were chronically scarred. Due to this scarring I often had tonsillitis and tonsil Stones. I then got them cut out, and it helped my whole health a lot.
