@registerednursern.com: Tonsil Stones Removal, Teatment, Prevention... Tonsil stones form in the crypts of your tonsils, and they are made up of calcified food, debris, and bacteria. Tonsil stone removal should only be done when necessary, as they often fall out on their own. If they become impacted or troublesome, a doctor can assist in removing them. If you attempt to remove smaller stones yourself, be sure to wash hands, gargle with antiseptic mouthwash, and use a clean cotton swab to gently press around crypts. Tonsil stone prevention revolves around using good oral hygiene and mouthwash, reducing excess dairy, and more. #tonsilstones #tonsils #tonsilstonesremoval #tonsillstone #nursingschool #nursetok #nursesoftiktok #fyp #nurse #tonsilstoneremoval #nursesarah
