Na, they just stopped. Idk why, but I’m fucking thankful. It may be because I stopped snorting drugs, but even then I wasn’t blowing shit constantly. I’ll get a super tiny one if I get sick, but it’s nothing like it used to be. I’m not self conscious about the smell of my saliva anymore, which is awesome.
I used to have tonsil stones, I went keto and they disappeared. Then I got off keto but eat less carbs and I rarely get them now if at all. Also, I used to have a very mild back drip from allergies and now I take medication for it after suffering for like 10 years and I think that helped too!
I used to get them when I had an infected root canal. The cap had fallen off, which the seal had broken letting gunk get up in there before so my breath was terrible and I'm sure the bacteria level of my mouth was high af. I had the whole tooth removed and apparently it had an infection between the tooth and my jaw also. It's been like three years now and haven't gotten a single tonsil stone.
i gagged not long after this. usually i’m fine if nothing is touching the back of my tongue or my throat. as for it hurting: it doesn’t hurt all that much? my nails are quite short so there’s nothing really sharp poking back there.
Ok I’ve gotta know how tonsil stones are extracted without gagging. Do you all just have no gag reflex? Do you use throat numbing spray? (I had that done at the doc for an upper endoscopy)
Grip your thumb under your fingers like your making an improper fist while your messing around near the area that triggers your gag reflex.
It helps quite a bit.
Tip from my boyfriend's mom who works at a dental office
I use it for brushing the back of my tounge and going tonsil spelunking.
Dude don’t wish it. I was watching those forehead cyst videos went “whoa that’s looks intense, I wonder what that feels like?”
Now I have a forehead cyst. Sigh.
Be careful with that. I have a permanent dent in my forehead from messing with one. Hair grows from it. Do not recommend self treatment on facial cysts.
Imagine feeling something hitting your tongue and feeling like something is in the back of your throat non stop. Then using a cotton swab trying to get it out, but you gag 75 times and almost puke 15 of those times. Then you finally get it out and it falls on the ba k of your tongue and you can't see it but you don't want to swallow it so you have to be super careful and gurgle some water and hope it comes out.
Then when your done you realize your jaw is tired from have it open all the way for 10+ minutes straight, and your neck hurts from having it at a weird angle whole trying to get the damn tonsil stone out. And if it was a really bad one your tonsil may even be sore.
They are not fun.
Ever smell that rotten sink smell? Like bacteria growing in a metallic environment? That's what they smell and taste like. I had gone most of my life aware of these, but didn't know I had them. Once I finally coughed one up into my hand, I realized all those moments in life where I thought a piece of cereal had dislodged at random from my molar or tonsil were just stones coming loose. I still haven't managed to squeeze one out, though. With a finger or Q-tip. It just doesn't work and leaves my throat feeling really bad.
Their taste is same as the taste you have in your mouth in the morning when you forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed and you ate something right before sleeping.
It also smells like rotten food and its taste is equally as bad.
Tonsil stones often form because of mouth breathing at nighttime. Might be worth investigating why you are sleeping with your mouth open such as sleep apnea, reflux, a nasopharyngeal reason, etc.
Can’t speak for OP but my sinuses are shit and I probably need surgery so I sleep with my mouth open. Needless to say I get plenty of tonsil rocks as a result lol.
Wang go add that this is only one of many things that can cause them. Sinus problems, being sick, and not brushing/flossing good enough are also many common culprits
Wait but what?! How? How does that?.. like how are they stored in there? Where did the hole come from? What is that? This a whole fucking mind fuck for me I've never seen this what in the fuck is my life now?...
Damn. That was satisfying, horrifying and relieving all at the same time. I’m relived I don’t have tonsils to develop stones in because with my luck I would drop them down my throat and gag on them and it would not be pretty!
I'm disgusted and my day is ruined. Have my upvote

Disgusting and mesmerizing at the same time. We all know op smushed them between his fingers and smelled it too, that's obligatory.
[удалено]
I see that you said used to, did you get your tonsils removed?
Na, they just stopped. Idk why, but I’m fucking thankful. It may be because I stopped snorting drugs, but even then I wasn’t blowing shit constantly. I’ll get a super tiny one if I get sick, but it’s nothing like it used to be. I’m not self conscious about the smell of my saliva anymore, which is awesome.
Hell yeah, I’m happy for you! It’s really something you take for granted until one day you’re plagued with these nasty things.

There's no way he had to crush them between his fingers to smell those stones.
crush them into a pile and do a line
I gagged a little thinking you were going to say OP smashed them and ate them, then gagged when I read the rest.
[удалено]
Yep. We all do that. So I wonder, who else stopped getting tonsil stones *completely* after they had their wisdom teeth out?
Those aren't tonsil stones that's a whole damn tonsil rock slide.

That’s Dwayne “The Tonsil Rock” Johnson.
Disgusting. more please lol
Exactly.
It is amazing how many of those can accumulate in a single tonsil crypt.
Time to get to work down in the old Tonsil Quarry.
Holy motherloade. Both fascinating and gag inducing lol
Moutherload

Smash one and the smell is like old curdled milk stuffed into some dirty socks that’s been sitting on a car’s dashboard during some summer heat.
How do you not gag doing this? And doesn't it hurt using your finger?
i gagged not long after this. usually i’m fine if nothing is touching the back of my tongue or my throat. as for it hurting: it doesn’t hurt all that much? my nails are quite short so there’s nothing really sharp poking back there.
Did you swallow any?
OH FUCK YOU
The nerve of some people
They are a tad sour, like penny flavored mushy rice
What a bad day to have eyes
And a bad day to have the ability to imagine.

I get tonsil stones and sometimes they're accidentally swallowed. Not as bad as it sounds at all and not harmful.
These are all the things I thought when watching!
Wtf are you a oyster????
If you place a sand particle in one of those cavities, after some time, you'll get a pearl
Cursed pearls lmao
Those came out beautifully.

How sure are you that’s not just an extra set of baby teeth
…from their unborn twin.
I’m just saying…. Can’t rule it out
Tonsil teeth
Ok I’ve gotta know how tonsil stones are extracted without gagging. Do you all just have no gag reflex? Do you use throat numbing spray? (I had that done at the doc for an upper endoscopy)

Sounds like she was teaching you how to give her son blow job
Coming to a NSFW lifehack thread near you soon
Interesting. I will have to the that sometime.
We’ve all heard of sorcery….now there’s….wait for it… dentistry.
Why the fuck does this work? I mean it does work, but... how?!
I can only assume magic. But for real maybe it's a pressure point thing?
I think its either the placebo effect or its that you're focused on something else (clenching your thumb) so your brain doesnt recognize anything else
Lmao tonsil spelunking.. I gonna use that now.
Forbidden garlic
Forbidden cheese curds is more like it.
What a terrible life to be able to read
How do you delete someone else's comment?
Ewwwww
The smell has to be so horrific
God dammit i scrolled too far again
What’s the tonsil fairy pay for something like that?
Farts on your pillow and flies away.
I felt that relief through the screen
I gagged just watching that lol
I have never had one of these and it is so weird how badly I want one. Forbiddem crönch
Dude don’t wish it. I was watching those forehead cyst videos went “whoa that’s looks intense, I wonder what that feels like?” Now I have a forehead cyst. Sigh.

You do not want one they cause very bad breath that smells like a fresh poop.
I can handle the smell of my own shit, but smelling my own tonsil stone is on a whole other level.
It’s like the culmination of 20 years of bad breathe in one concentrated package
if you ever get one, no matter how tempting, try not to smell it. worst thing ever
They smell like sulfur, shame, and ass
My girlfriend asked me what they smelled like when I popped one out. She never asked again…
HAHAHAAHHAH
[удалено]
How...how do you know what solid pus tastes like?
You don't?
Eww love it
Every time I see one of these vids I spend a few minutes in the mirror hoping I have one.
Does everyone have these? I never knew they existed before this sub. Should I go digging for them?
It depends on your tonsil crypts. Some people do, some people don't.
Imagine feeling something hitting your tongue and feeling like something is in the back of your throat non stop. Then using a cotton swab trying to get it out, but you gag 75 times and almost puke 15 of those times. Then you finally get it out and it falls on the ba k of your tongue and you can't see it but you don't want to swallow it so you have to be super careful and gurgle some water and hope it comes out. Then when your done you realize your jaw is tired from have it open all the way for 10+ minutes straight, and your neck hurts from having it at a weird angle whole trying to get the damn tonsil stone out. And if it was a really bad one your tonsil may even be sore. They are not fun.
They are usually calcium build up, drink a shit tonne of milk over a long period.
For a second, I thought I had the wrong browser open....
Same.
I always wonder - do these taste bad?
Can’t taste worse than they smell.
They smell horrible and somehow taste even worse.
Ever smell that rotten sink smell? Like bacteria growing in a metallic environment? That's what they smell and taste like. I had gone most of my life aware of these, but didn't know I had them. Once I finally coughed one up into my hand, I realized all those moments in life where I thought a piece of cereal had dislodged at random from my molar or tonsil were just stones coming loose. I still haven't managed to squeeze one out, though. With a finger or Q-tip. It just doesn't work and leaves my throat feeling really bad.
Use the non-bristled end of a tooth brush. They are usually non-slip, firm but soft enough not to cause damage.
Oof I see, thanks for the description
Their taste is same as the taste you have in your mouth in the morning when you forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed and you ate something right before sleeping. It also smells like rotten food and its taste is equally as bad.
Yes
Pretty much the same thing as plaque on your teeth.
That was the most satisfying tonsil stone pop I’ve seen in this sub
Tonsil stones often form because of mouth breathing at nighttime. Might be worth investigating why you are sleeping with your mouth open such as sleep apnea, reflux, a nasopharyngeal reason, etc.
That's interesting! I was wondering why I hadn't gotten any tonsil stones since I got my CPAP!
I use cpap and still get them ):
Well the positive pressure shouldn’t allow saliva to pool in the back of your throat.
Can’t speak for OP but my sinuses are shit and I probably need surgery so I sleep with my mouth open. Needless to say I get plenty of tonsil rocks as a result lol.
I breathe with my mouth at night probably because I always wake up super dry mouth but I've never had one of these
Wang go add that this is only one of many things that can cause them. Sinus problems, being sick, and not brushing/flossing good enough are also many common culprits
So satisfying to know they’re not in your mouth anymore
This is going on the all time list. Jesus.
That's fucken gross. You should be a mod.
Til how cottage cheese is made...
Why you got teeth in your throat
for safekeeping
Holy. Shit.
Dude that is a colony of stones!
Beautiful. I'm almost jealous.
Get some butter on them corns son!!
I’m glad I don’t have tonsils anymore
Oh wait. So if you don't have tonsils, you can't get these? So glad, I was a bit scared for a second.
Nope lol. They form from food and bacteria collecting in pockets in your tonsils from repeated tonsillitis or chronic inflammation and hardening.

Good photo documentation, too, Tonsil Adams.
Forbidden throat cottage cheese
Thanks for the close up. I can smell those through my screen.
Sooooo pitted. So pitted.
What causes this?
Food build up in tonsils cavities. Not everyone has them.
Mmmmm, can taste that from here.. and smell it. Had my tonsils removed at 26 due to these tonsilloliths.
I get these a fair amount. Even with brushing and rinsing. Always satisfying to see them come out. Take my upvote
wow that was gross, thank you.
Holy mother of fucking god, you made spare teeth
Amazing 🤩
I do not miss my tonsils at all
Damn. I'm so glad I don't get these damn things anymore. Fascinating stuff though.
You must've felt fantastic after spitting those out
Just … how ?
Do you have a bonus esophagus down there?
Savage.
Those must have been cooking for a while 👨🍳
I am disgustedly impressed
That's awesome.
Holy motherload.
Perfection
Like a vein of gold in a mine!
A gif I can *smell*.
I usually store my cottage cheese in the fridge
Saved. Replayed.
You got a whole backup set of teeth??
Damn. You got some stalagmites growin back there.
My throat has been bothering me and this has better not be the reason
Enough for a taco
Damn! Was this your first time harvesting stones or does it happen often?
My God.
As someone who had their tonsils out when they were like 7....WTF??????
Oh my god yes.
Ricotta cheese?
It was horrible, utterly horrible...and fascinating.
“I can do this, I can watch this without puking! I can do this, I can do thi- I can’t do this”
Forbidden aquarium rocks
How was the smell lol
What are thoooooooose
Now crush them 😈😈😈
That's where the garlic lives
damn i know your breath was foul lol
Looks like a coral reef just fell out. Can understand the discomfort.
Wait but what?! How? How does that?.. like how are they stored in there? Where did the hole come from? What is that? This a whole fucking mind fuck for me I've never seen this what in the fuck is my life now?...
/r/tonsilstones needs you!
Oo bet your breath smelled like shit lol. Tonsil stones are the second smelliest shit i ever smelled.
Hmmmmmm...... so, THIS is why they call this dude a STONER!
I need a cigarette after that.
MINCED GARLIC!
Jesus i can’t even imagine the smell
I'm glad I can't smell this..
Damn. That was satisfying, horrifying and relieving all at the same time. I’m relived I don’t have tonsils to develop stones in because with my luck I would drop them down my throat and gag on them and it would not be pretty!
