How Can Tonsil Stones Be Removed?

I m having really bad Tonsil stones (6-8 daily) and they are really getting on my nerves. It s been like this for about a year now. I have very good oral hygiene, but I have extremely terrible anxiety. Can they be caused by stress? How can I fix them?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, stress and anxiety can not cause tonsil stones.
Best treatment for tonsil stones is tonsillectomy (surgical removal of tonsils).
Tonsillectomy is permanent cure.
So consult ENT doctor and get done tonsillectomy.
