What are Tonsil Stones
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
One condition that can be discovered during a checkup is tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths. These are deposits in the palatal tonsils that are a product of calcification of debris that accumulates in the crevices within the tonsils. Tonsilloliths are not harmful and are often painless. The patient might not even be aware they have them until they grow larger and visible. The good news is that they are usually very easy to remove.
