Tonsil stones are accumulated food and mouth debris that get stuck inside deep holes in the tonsils. As they rot they become smelly and cause a bad taste. They can also cause a lump sensation, ear pressure symptoms and tonsillitis.
I treat them by removing a substantial part of the tonsil using a vapourising laser and local anaesthetic spray.
