Tonsil stone removal with a cotton swab, learn what tonsil stones are, symptoms of tonsil stones, and more.

Tonsil stones are compacted masses made up of calcified food, debris, and bacteria. They form in the small crypts and crevices of the tonsils.

They are very common, and in fact, you may have them and not even realize it. They are also generally harmless, but can become impacted or lead to an infection.

Tonsil stones can be removed by your doctor, but some people may attempt to remove smaller ones at home. If you do attempt this, be sure to wash your hands, gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash, and use a clean cotton swab or water flosser. When you are done, be sure to gargle once more to reduce any germs and to prevent infection.
