Dentists typically do not remove tonsil stones, as they form in the tonsils and are more commonly managed by your primary care doctor or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. The good news is that tonsil stones often come out on their own through coughing, swallowing, or gentle rinsing with salt water.
At Dr. Eastwood’s office, we focus on dental health but are always happy to take a look if you’re concerned about something in your mouth or throat. We take a no-judgment approach, so whether it’s been a while since your last visit or you’re dealing with something uncomfortable, you’ll be treated with respect and care.
Our office is also a one-stop-shop for comprehensive dental care, including cleanings, exams, dental implants, extractions, and more — all under one roof.
If you’re unsure whether a tonsil stone or something else is causing your symptoms, we recommend checking with a medical provider or ENT. But if you need dental care or just want a professional opinion, we’re here to help.
