Different Techniques To Remove Tonsil Stones

So how do we get rid of them? Well the techniques I will describe are very simple and can be done at home.

1. use a an object with a soft tip to probe the tonsil in order to dislodge a tonsillolith

2. use the tongue, if it is flexible, and move it around the tonsillolith if you can feel it

3. apply pressure to the back of the throat by flexing it. This will cause the tonsillolith to eventually come out

4. Keep yourself hydrated so that oral bacteria does not accumulate.

5. Gargle with mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide.

6. Brush your teeth with baking soda or gargle using baking soda. This method is very effective and usually if you have a a few tonsilloliths stuck in the back of your throat then chances are they will come off fast.
