Why Do Some People Get Tonsil Stones?
Tonsil stones are more common in people who:
- Have deep tonsil crypts
- Experience chronic tonsillitis or frequent throat infections
- Have poor oral hygiene
- Breathe through their mouth, especially during sleep (which dries out the mouth)
- Suffer from post-nasal drip
The structure of your tonsils plays a huge role — some people simply have more crevices and folds than others, making it easier for debris to get trapped.
