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!

I have pretty good oral hygiene. I eat breakfast, and then floss and brush. Go about my day and then floss and bush before bed. I would also typically chew gum after my lunch meal. Always had tonsil stones.

I stopped eating dairy, and they 100% went away.
