Friendly reminder to clean your tonsils. Tonsil stones can lead to infections, directly cause bad breath, and can compromise your body if contaminants enter your blood stream.
These can escape you even with the most rigid oral hygiene schedule, as they hide deep in the crevices.
They also smell like turtle smegma.
>pic related is from tonight with 1 week since the previous cleaning, brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, gargling salt water twice a day, and mouthwash once a day + 3L water drank daily + on a clean diet
I would venture to say most people who still have their tonsils have a lot of these especially if this is the first time it's ever come to your attention that you need to manually did them out with considerable pressure and force.
I only ever have these when I consume large amounts of dairy and never in that size or quantity. Your diet is fucked in some way, or you are a genetic anomaly.
Chase Watson
When I had tonsils I never had that many stones, in that size from a single cleaning. Something is wrong with you
Parker Rogers
i'll add to that: - alone - without triggering gag reflex - without hurting yourself in the attempt - self stabbing tonsils with a qtip was a very bad idea

Jacob Ramirez
Sounds dangerous and ineffective.
Juan Collins
I have to do the same thing, you just use your finger ya dingus.
Hudson Edwards
I get one out maybe once every few months... something is wrong with you.
Gavin Anderson
Nah I'm super man
Chase Robinson
I've never even heard of these... Where the fuck do you look? My tonsils look fine, nothing 'on' them.
David Long
Go see a doctor you fucking idiot
Ryder Nelson
PEBKAC. you're a dirty little shit with a shit diet and your lifts are almost certainly shit, too. fuck off, disgusting mongrel. no bump. kys, faggot.
I remember when I first started getting these. Coughed one up, thought it was a leftover bit of food, bit down, and fucking threw up everywhere. The single most vile object in existence. Still get them every now and again, but mouthwash does help.
Most people don't have pockets in their tonsils and so they never get that.
You only have pockets if you've had something like tonsillitis...and bad tonsillitis..which most people never get.
Christopher Hall
I cough them up sometimes. They are some of the worst smelling things ever.
Thomas Nelson
Yeah...OP you're wrong.
You obviously have a genetic predisposition to them. The vast majority of people do not get them...
Soz bud.

>last year, get really fucking sick >fatigue, fever, fever dreams, swollen tonsils >tonsils swelled up so bad I could not eat or speak >throat covered in white coating, have tonsil stoned that I could extract with a metal tool >have a doctor cram a needle down my throat to pop the abscess, did nothing aside from induce agonizing pain
Why the fuck do you have tonsil stones? I only ever had those when I had mono. What the fuck is wrong with you, OP? Go to a fucking doctor, those are not normal.
Good thread. As it happens I'm getting my tonsils removed next week. Nobody should have to deal with shitty tonsil stones. They're fucking gross and dehumanizing
Angel Roberts
wh*ite people are truly disgusting
Hunter Nguyen
I do too, I notice I cough them up after having a cold. I thought it was some weird form of phlegm.
Do you drink a moderate amount of milk? I used to drink litres a day and had these so often. Stopped drinking milk, havent had them since.
Zachary Torres
When I first noticed them about 6 years ago I thought I was regurgitating crunchy peanut butter pieces
Jack Jackson
I have one of my back tooth that is pretty much 3/4 rotted away, it's just a hole in my mouth and it smells and tastes like shit. It probably looks discgusting too. Is it going to turn into an access and kill me? The dentist told me like 3 years ago that I need it out but I haven't done it
Not true, infant mortality was sky high so average death rate was 30's-40's.
Brody Wilson
Naww youtu.be/fOUGoD4qG2Q I've seen vidyas on youtube if black people removing them as well Tonsil stones are the cause of most cases of bad breathe but they peddle the "floss and brush better" myth Getting my tonsils coblated next week
Daniel Garcia
I got these when I was smoking a pack a day
Luis Walker
OP here. >I don't drink milk >My diet isn't fucked >Obviously not everyone has giant crypts in their tonsils > I don't smoke or drink etc But, all you would have to do is check to prove me wrong. Not one of those in my op pic was visible and required A LOT of pushing different areas of the tonsil and guiding them out. They do not pop like a zit. They are not easy to get out by no means and it was very hard to get over the gag reflex
And maybe a lot of you don't have them. Couldn't hurt to check though. If you just look inside with a flashlight you might not see a single white spec, but push on it and have a mountain come out like I did.
Carter Gray
Dude what the fuck I get tiny TINY ones after two weeks. Get your tonsils removed or something.
Brody Jackson
I've never had it and my tonsils look like swiss cheese.
Aiden Perry
>blood
Nice way to catch an infection retad
Push around with your finger and drink more water. Mostly try to keep a clean mouth, often I'll cough up some of the stones in the morning when I wake up.
Oliver Jones
Also OP I've been clearing out my tonsil stones lately too and NEVER did it require me putting a fucking qtip in there. Just do a movement that simulates when you're going to spit phlegm to bring them up to the surface and then after that just push with your finger until they come out.
What the fuck is with the blood
Dylan Hughes
I had these and just had my tonsils removed. much more convenient than having to get these things out.
Nathaniel Perez
I still have my tonsils and have never seen a tonsil stone in my life. Also how the fuck do you know what turtle smegma smells like?
Elijah Roberts
>Had these removed as a child >Remember nothing about pain or dealing with any tonsillitis >Find this thread >Gagging at every single post
Thank god I don't have to deal with this, holy shit this is worse than a gore thread.
Hudson Morales
I am making a 2 part series of good posts. Don't read other posts, they will be shit and wrong.
If you have tonsil stones, there is one cure. One. Only one cure. Do not believe there is more than one cure, because there is only one.
The cure to tonsil stones is getting your tonsils removed.
Getting your tonsils removed is easy. Almost every insurance will cover tonsil removal. It's this simple: 1. Go to Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Doctor. 2. Say ''My tonsils bad''. 3. Get tonsils removed 4. Two weeks recovery 5. Live your improved life forever
If you don't get your tonsils removed while having tonsils, here's what you can look forward to: 1. Always having awful breath that actually infects the way air coming out of mouth AND nose (yes, really your nose) smells to other people. ESPECIALLY when kissing. 2. Having a literal, constant infection that never goes away 3. Fishing stones out every fucking day 4. Being a loser. If you think 'cleaning your tonsils' is going to stop your shit from being shit, then your mindset is trash and so is your life.

****BONUS****
When getting your tonsils out, a competent ENT will help you with other things that you didn't even know were a problem. If you go into an ENT's office for tonsil removal and he or she doesn't start asking you about these things, run away. You have a shit ENT. The following items an ENT can cure while you are under can be life changing: • Deviated septum • Sinus draining issues
The odds are more likely than not that you have a deviated septum. A deviated septum is when the bone inside your nose is crooked, favoring one side. This can restrict airflow while breathing. It's an incredibly easy fix. It does not change your appearance, that is a myth caused by celebrities getting nose jobs and pretending that they were just fixing a deviated septum.
Many people live with compacted sinuses and never know it. Shitty sinuses have trouble draining properly, which leads to a constant infection. An actual lifelong infection that NEVER goes away no matter how many nasal irrigation you do. If you can't drain, life is pain. Most people with garbage sinuses aren't even aware of it because it have become normal. They have accepted sub-optimal conditions. A good ENT will clear your faggot sinuses out of their shitty, useless, horribly evolved garbage walls so that you can drain properly. The quality of life change from a good sinus surgery is soul-inspiring.
ALL COVERED BY INSURANCE. ALL OF IT. LIFE ENHANCING, LIFE CHANGING SURGERY COVERED ALL BY INSURANCE.
This is the conclusion of the posts. If you aren't searching 'tonsillectomy' or 'ENT' right now, you're gay. Extremely gay. You will forever have a shitty life because you make shitty decisions after being spoonfed the correct answers.
Owen Torres
these don't look like tonsil stones, they look like parts of seeds. if we add to that how OCD your oral hygiene routine is and that "cleaning your mouth" doesn't stop for you until you're bleeding, i'm guessing you probably fucked up your tonsils over the years to the point of their holes now being big enough for small (and not just microscopic) parts of food to enter them. you are basically a mouth roastie now, congrats.
Joshua Martinez
Oh I get small ones of these thats what they are. I just poke them with a toothpick
Caleb Ortiz
Good thing i dont have em
Logan Gomez
I get em when I eat at lot of fine powdered food(Cheetos, candy) it may be protien powder building up and sitting in your throat
Jayden Flores
I've never had these and I'm the milk drinking proverbial 30 hear old white guy in the gym...
is this something that affect non-whites ? I and my mates/family are white and never has this come up.
If this is chink or cholo related then take that shit back to china or mexico
Brayden Gomez
This so much. Mine were as big as my thumb tips. I'm so happy I got them out, went to see a specialist and had them insist it be done on insurance. No more snoring. No more sleep apnea. No more stones. No more hydra breath. No more unbearably sore and swollen throat when sick. As someone who makes money singing I was very worried it might affect my voice for the worse, but 6 months post op it was actually much easier and comfortable to sing, no more contorting my throat in weird ways to accommodate lumps of chronically infected flesh constricting my voice. Things were still a bit tight from scar tissue for about a year, but mine were by the surgeon's own admission some of the worst he'd ever seen which is why recover was so long. One of the best decisions of my life.
