ORAL MEDICINE: What are tonsil stones?

Tonsil stones are small masses that lodge in the tonsils, have an unpleasant odor and are also the cause of bad breath.

The tonsils are covered with a mucosa that contains a large number of pits, and it is precisely in those pits that the remains of food and bacteria remain, which when hardened become tonsilloliths.
