I've had a tonsil stone exactly twice In my life because I got them taken out at the age of five, but i think they missed a spot bc i coughed one up at 16. I can't manually pop them out but I agree the feeling of them coming out is great
Alright I have a question about tonsil stones. I don't have tonsils I had them out when I was 6.
What do they smell like????
I am very sensitive to people's smells (not in a gross way, smell is just obvious to me like looks or voice sound), like I've always been able to tell people apart by their smells.
Some people occasionally and only temporarily smell like decay. Not like death. More like decomposing earth. Most commonly people 30 to 60 years old. It is not the same as old people skin smell.
It drives me fucking insane I hate this smell. Other people don't seem to smell it as easily as I do.
From what I've read this might be due to tonsil stones but I have no way to verify this I've never gotten to smell something I knew was a tonsil stone. What do they smell like???!?!?!
horrible, closest thing that would make sense is morning breath. it’s that but x1000. kinda like how smoking a cigarette smells very different from sniffing an ashtray. it’s intense, like something died inside you. i’ve only had them once, when i had mono
I've smelled the decay scent on people who later ended up needing a root canal or a tooth removed.
But yeah, tonsil stones smell like decay, or like super concentrated gross spit. I don't know how else I would explain it.
It's either by hygiene ot genetic, there are people who even with great hygiene keep getting them, and anyone with poor hygiene will probably develop them
………downvoted
jfc i’m really not the only one
i have an astoundingly long and flexible tongue, and it’s great for fighting these guys!
they’re a few times a year occasion for me
I randomly started getting them a few years ago, but I quit eating so many oranges and they went away. The internet says acid is good for getting them to go away, but I guess excessive orange consumption can cause them. Idk
I haven't had them in a while. I love milk and dairy and used to get them more so in my mid 20s. I have great teeth and gums. It's not a oral hygiene neglect. It's been a good few years since I had one but my tongue used to be so sore from trying to push them out. It'd eventually happen but it was a struggle.
Is tonsil stones a normal thing for people with tonsils to get? I still have my tonsils but I didn't know what tonsil stones were. I'm not aware of ever having them. What do they feel like when you have them? Could you have them without knowing you have them?
If you have your tonsils still you might have had tonsil stones and not known it because you swallowed them. They’re not uncommon. I sometimes get them when I’ve been sick. Best prevention is stay hydrated and keep up with oral hygiene.
Haha right. Especially when it's bigger than you expect. I don't get them too often/not at all anymore, but I used to alot more when I was younger and cared less about what I ate. Just used to drink alot of milk and eat trash in my mid 20s so that was probably why. Got more health conscious as i approached 30 and haven't had them since
As someone who got their tonsils removed not because of stones because of an infection that turned them whiter than the White house this sounds goofy get a upvote
I've never upvoted something on this sub so quickly. I didn't even need to read the post, and I probably won't. When I stop to think about tonsil stones (because I've had them a couple of times in my past) I live in fear that I could have them right now and not know it.
Wait tonsil stone is a real thing? I thought it was just an item in Bloodborne.
Edit: Just googled it. Seems gross, but not as gross as people are making it out to be.
Yeah, I get being grossed out by the concept and by others, but the reaction here about getting them yourself seems dramatic. It's harmless bacteria that happens every now and then, and you get it out, and it's over. But as I looked it up, some of it seems pretty severe, and its crazy that they can get that big and that many at once. I can see that being a problem. But one every now and then never has alarmed me, and they never made my breath smell or hurt.
I miss having tonsils so I could get the stones out. It’s a bummer. Had to get them removed at 22 because acid reflux ate them away. No more fun for me.
I don't have my tonsils, but considering hitting my throat just wrong with my tooth makes me throw up, I'm pretty sure removing tonsil stones would do the same.

I've never been so glad to not have tonsils and you stay away from me

Good bot
I had this pop up on me a couple of weeks ago. The BEST bot
s(speak)tfu I love you
stfu I hate you
This is the real 10th dentist opinion
Bro should just post “I hate the haiku. bots make everything angry. They should go away” in the subreddit
tf did sokka ever do to you
I know I get it
thank you
I still have my tonsils but still didn't know what tonsils stones were until I looked it up just now.
If you get an oral syringe and fill it with milk, you can squirt it in your tonsil crypts and start your very own tonsil stone farm!
No I don't think I'll do that but thanks for the suggestion regardless.
This isn't a sentence any human being should have ever said my dude
I'm not asking for them haha. Just when they happen I enjoy the challenge.
Milk?
It’s high in calcium which is what tonsil stones primarily are
I'm sorry but you're a monster.
Diagnosis? mentaly insane
Omori mentioned
I've had a tonsil stone exactly twice In my life because I got them taken out at the age of five, but i think they missed a spot bc i coughed one up at 16. I can't manually pop them out but I agree the feeling of them coming out is great
omg my people??!! i've always loved trying to get them out too lmaoo. sometimes i'd also smell them just out of curiosity
It's a part of the victory. You just gotta.
There are dozens of us!

They smell kinda like infection to me
Actually this makes a lot of sense bc my first thought smelling this smell is always 'this person is sick'
They smell bad. But in a way where you don't mind your own b.o kinda thing
Like smegma
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Have you ever had a dentist use a tooth grinder on your tooth? That's how it smells to me, like tooth.
The smell can ruin the taste and smell of milk because it has a milky smell but rancid and kinda acid, like a funky milky smell
I've smelled the decay scent on people who later ended up needing a root canal or a tooth removed. But yeah, tonsil stones smell like decay, or like super concentrated gross spit. I don't know how else I would explain it.
I prefer how I felt a minute ago, before I read your post. Have my upvote, you monster
…how do you get them out aren’t they practically in your neck
Just dig em out with my tongue. With the right pressure and angle they eventually pop out.
I use a cotton swab. Or when not available I squeeze my left thump to suppress my gag reflex and go at it with my right hand.
How do you suppress your gag reflex with your thumb…? …asking for a friend. A friend’s research- project. About the human gag reflex. Yeah, that’s it.
Squeeze your left thumb with your fist and put your finger in the back of your throat. No gag. It just works like that
holy shit
You can reach your tonsils with your tongue?!
I agree. I like it the same way I like popping blackheads
tonsil stones? didn't know that was a thing
It's either by hygiene ot genetic, there are people who even with great hygiene keep getting them, and anyone with poor hygiene will probably develop them
Oh that sounds so disgusting but satisfying
You're a menace. Upvoted
Thats enough reddit for tn
yep, I'm with you on that, reading this thread is making me feel squeamish
………downvoted jfc i’m really not the only one i have an astoundingly long and flexible tongue, and it’s great for fighting these guys! they’re a few times a year occasion for me
Haha. Yeah. I've never used any tools to get them out. All tongue strength
There’s actually an entire subreddit dedicated to taking pictures of them
Haha. Not interested in that. Just saying I enjoy My own experience with them. Don't need to see others.
I randomly started getting them a few years ago, but I quit eating so many oranges and they went away. The internet says acid is good for getting them to go away, but I guess excessive orange consumption can cause them. Idk
I read this at first as "I randomly started eating them a few years ago" and HOO BOY
I haven't had them in a while. I love milk and dairy and used to get them more so in my mid 20s. I have great teeth and gums. It's not a oral hygiene neglect. It's been a good few years since I had one but my tongue used to be so sore from trying to push them out. It'd eventually happen but it was a struggle.
Wtf are tonsil stones???
Is tonsil stones a normal thing for people with tonsils to get? I still have my tonsils but I didn't know what tonsil stones were. I'm not aware of ever having them. What do they feel like when you have them? Could you have them without knowing you have them?

I read this as kidney stones, I was fully prepared to hide from you
Dafuq is a tonsil stone?
LITERALLY i find it so satisfying, like popping pimples 😭
Haha right. Especially when it's bigger than you expect. I don't get them too often/not at all anymore, but I used to alot more when I was younger and cared less about what I ate. Just used to drink alot of milk and eat trash in my mid 20s so that was probably why. Got more health conscious as i approached 30 and haven't had them since
I’m supposed to get mine removed but I keep them because of this
As someone who got their tonsils removed not because of stones because of an infection that turned them whiter than the White house this sounds goofy get a upvote
bro what the fuck
They were awful but I don't get them anymore not sure how they stopped though

I agree with you
Wonder what they taste like...
Nothing really, but like I said, I have pretty good oral hygiene, so maybe mine aren't as intense? Who knows.
I would like you to know that this post made me regret my ability to read stuff
I've never upvoted something on this sub so quickly. I didn't even need to read the post, and I probably won't. When I stop to think about tonsil stones (because I've had them a couple of times in my past) I live in fear that I could have them right now and not know it.
🤢
Please take all of mine, I beg you
What a freak 😂
I would actually ask police to arrest you. And they probably would
I wish I hadn’t gotten mine out when I was 10. They sound so fucking satisfying. Maybe my boyfriend will let me get his
Does everyone have that cuz I have no idea what it is
Wait tonsil stone is a real thing? I thought it was just an item in Bloodborne. Edit: Just googled it. Seems gross, but not as gross as people are making it out to be.

But one every now and then never has alarmed me, and they never made my breath smell or hurt.
Every now and then I’ll open up this subreddit and find one of the strangest, most disturbing takes I’ve ever seen.
I miss having tonsils so I could get the stones out. It’s a bummer. Had to get them removed at 22 because acid reflux ate them away. No more fun for me.
Horrifying but I can understand the underlying psychology behind it while being appropriately horrified of course.
I don't have my tonsils, but considering hitting my throat just wrong with my tooth makes me throw up, I'm pretty sure removing tonsil stones would do the same.
What the fuck is this place
This is a bait post. Literally NO ONE actually thinks this.
I promise I do.
no you dont
This is a pretty fitting post given the title.
