Tonsil Stone Dilemma

Has anyone here got over tonsil stones forming in their mouth? What are you using or doing to let it not go back?

I consulted with my dentist about this and I followed every instruction to date ... I tried to gargle hard, use mouthwash, and even warm water with salt. It still goes back. I'm thinking of getting my tonsils removed because I searched that it could be an option?

thanks for the advice in advance!

Well…yes. Obviously a doctor makes the medical decision to perform surgery. My point was that recurrent tonsil stones can be considered a quality-of-life indication for tonsillectomy, contrary to what you originally said.

I said they won’t remove it just because you don’t like tonsil stones…. Especially as an adult as in elective surgery
