Tonsil Stones

Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are small, hardened deposits that form in the crevices of the tonsils. These stones are composed of debris such as food particles, bacteria, and mucus that become trapped and hardens over time. While they are typically harmless, tonsil stones can cause symptoms such as throat irritation, difficulty swallowing, bad breath and a feeling of something stuck in the throat. In some cases, if left untreated, they may lead to recurrent throat infections or discomfort.

For those with tonsil stones, The ENT Consultancy offers effective solutions to address the problem and prevent recurrence. Using specialised techniques, our ENT specialists provide safe removal of tonsil stones, whether manually or with technology-led procedures. For patients with recurring issues, we also offer advice on preventative care, such as improved oral hygiene or, in severe cases, a tonsillectomy to eliminate the problem entirely.
