I think you might can gargle them out if you can get it back there enough and it can reach it.

Mine just...came out somehow xD I've only had one, it was a couple of weeks ago. The day after the doctor saw it (which was about 4 days after i first saw it) it came out. Though mine might have been just a pus pocket.

The doctor suggested a waterpick (the little thing that shoots out water, the thing dentists use). I think they run about 20 something to 30 something dollars (im guessing). It would probably be worth it if you get these stones often.

Also the water is better since you wont have to stick your finger or toothbrush or whatnot back there and gag/risk infection.
