4 Effective Ways To Remove Tonsil Stones Without Surgery

Take a clean q-tip and push the tonsil stones with slight pressure in order to remove them from the pockets. Do this until they’re dislodged, then keep pushing until they pop out.

Dental irrigation syringes

Dental irrigations syringes can remove deeper tonsil stones and are easier to use than q-tips. Keep them top down to make the stones fall off out of the mouth. The liquid in the syringes should be made from 3% hydrogen peroxide and a bit of water. Hydrogen peroxide will remove the stones effectively and disinfect the area as well.

Oral irrigator

This device is a great automatic way of removing tonsil stones. Position the nozzle of the device directly at the stones, set it at the lowest setting and fire away. Be gentle though – too much pressure from the device can harm your tonsils.

Oral probiotics

Taking probiotics such as S. Salivarius 12 will work great against tonsil stones. It’s best to open up a probiotic capsule and mix it with 4 oz. of warm water. Swish the mixture in your mouth near the tonsil stones – tilt your head back if you can’t reach the spot. This will dislodge the stones and make them fall our easier. Chewing gum or swishing toothpaste in the area around the tonsils can also make the process go easier.
