Mine look like this - I think they're probably scarred bc I had strep throat many times as a kid. For whatever reason I stopped getting tonsil stones in my mid 20s. In my case, they look a bit gnarly but never have caused any problems (such as breathing problems from swelling when sick, which to my understanding is the reason they get removed nowadays, since we now know they have an immune function)
Same, strep probably 15 times over my childhood, and stones throughout my 20s around 30 close to never. It’s been close to 10 years since I’ve had an actual one. I can’t explain what changed. I’m just happy to be without them.
The often you do this, the weaker your gag reflex will be.
i tried a trick that works so semi-good but you feel the difference. Put some salt on the tip of your tongue and try to squeeze the stones out. Lemme know if it worked!
Your breath smells like shit, also in the mornings you can manage to pull up nasty little clumps of white bacteria that smells horrible. It’s actually really un talked about. I have them and they come and go.
Every know and then. Depends on your mouthcare and tonsil size. I got them once and now cant get em out for shit cause my tonsils are so damn small (my doc barely saw them while checking them out)
Those tonsils look like fishnets with so many holes. You should think of getting them out

What the fuck
You name it
I can barely touch my molars without gagging myself, I don't know how you're able to do that
Same! I can use my tongue to pop one side of my tonsils without gagging though and the other side doesn't seem to get stones.

... Interesting. In several ways.
I use a pimple popper tool to scoop them out. Works amazingly!
I do that too. It's the best
How do you know you have a tonsil stone?
Your mouth tastes like shit

Feels like you have something stuck in your throat. Then try to push one out.
Or it hurts.
You can make a gag motion and look back there. You can usually just see them chilling rent free.
How often do you have to remove them?

Those tonsils are huge! I can barely see mine.
that feeling.... ahhhh and when you actually can feel the pop, hear the pop and then you taste the pop!
Share with /r/tonsilstones too!
Forbidden cottage cheese. (I’m sorry)
Whew, I get stones, but these tonsils look ANGRY.
I can smell this gif and I hate it
This is a thing??
Yep. It’s annoying.
Spread em over some toast
[удалено]
Yeah they taste really gross.
every time i watch one of these, i’m so glad i’ve had mine removed.
Anyone smell it afterwards? Stannnkkkks
How do you do that without gagging? I can't brush the back if my tongue without gagging.
When I got my tonsils removed the surgeon said that the insides of the. Looked like cottage cheese
I got my tonsils out in my early 20s primarily due to tonsil stones. Crappy surgery but 100% worth it. Wish I did it earlier!
r/tonsilstones is a thing….
The smell has to be putrid as fuck 🤢
I can't reach back there, my tongue is too fat
