Tonsil stones: What causes them and why would you START getting them?I understand what they're made of and how to get rid of them, but why would someone who is 21 years old, has never had a tonsil stones in his life before this year, start getting them once or twice a month when he hasn't changed ANYTHING - my diet is the same, my routine is the same, my toothpaste is the same, I haven't changed ANYTHING about my lifestyle between the time I used to get no tonsil stones and the time I started getting them frequently.
What's going on? And how can I make sure I stop getting them?

HATRICK,
WHAT'S GOING ON IS THAT THE TONSILS ARE KEEPING YOU FROM THROAT INFECTIONS AND THIS DEBRIS IN THE FORM OF BACTERIA AND IMMUNE CELLS IS BEING EXPELLED AS STONES.
YOU MAY USE A WATERPIK TO GENTLYNFLUSH THESE STONES FROM THE TONSILS WITH
JET SPRAYNOF THE MACHINE SAFELY RATHER THAN POKING THESE GLANDS WITH OBJECTS.

Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils. The debris, which can include mucous from post nasal drip, putrifies in the back of your throat and collects in the tonsil crypts (small pockets which appear on the surface of the tonsils).
Along with tonsil stones, when the debris combine with the volatile sulfur compounds produced by the anaerobic bacteria beneath the surface of your tongue, it can also create chronic Halitosis (and other bad breath and taste disorders).
Important: If you do not have your tonsils then you will not under most circumstances experience tonsil stones. However this does not mean that you shouldrun out and get your tonsils removed.
As we get older, tonsillectomies become increasingly dangerous; however, even if you have your tonsils removed, you will most likely still have bad breath! Why?
The sulfur-producing bacteria breeding beneath the surface of your tongue, which are integral to the creation of those tonsil stones, are the most likely candidates to cause bad breath!
So, even if you have your tonsils removed, unless you remove or hinder these anaerobic bacteria, you may still scare away people with your bad breath!
And, since you can't have your tongue removed (at least not in the U.S.), there is a better idea. Fortunately, getting rid of tonsil stones is not that difficult...
How to Get Rid of Tonsil Stones
A simple combination of oxygenating tablets and nasal sinus drops will effectively eliminate tonsil stones without unnecessary tonsil surgery. Also, the occasional use of an oxygenating spray will help to immediately neutralize the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria on contact.
The Bad Breath Bible states that if you truly want to prevent bad breath then you must use oxygenating toothpastes and mouthwashes, and ideally a tongue scraper to effectively neutralize the anaerobic bacteria from the very back of the tongue.
When you use such an oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash, you will experience a residual effect from the oxygenating tablets and nasal sinus drops solution, and it will stop the tonsil stones from ever forming again.
According to the California Breath Clinics, which has offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, research has found that most people following this formula have reported a significant reduction or complete elimination of tonsil stones.
