Self-treatment
The easiest way to remove them is with the tongue, which unlike other methods, does not provoke the gag reflex.
Various other methods also exist. While difficult to perform due to the gag reflex, a quick brushing with a toothbrush may remove surfaced tonsilloliths. Another effective way to remove tonsil stones is by pressing a finger or cotton swab against the bottom of the tonsil and pushing upward.
Surgical treatment
The most aggressive form of treatment involves surgical removal of the stone, via oral curette.
A longer term cure is possible by using laser resurfacing. The procedure is called laser cryptolysis.
The most drastic method, a tonsillectomy, is permanently effective but should only be considered when less aggressive options fail or are not desired/tolerable.
Prevention
Since tonsil stones are more common in people who have chronic tonsillitis, the only surefire way to prevent their occurrence is with surgical removal of the tonsils. This procedure, known as a tonsillectomy, removes the tissues of the tonsils entirely, thereby eliminating the possibility of tonsillolith formation.
