Q. how do i cure tonsil stones (tonsiloth)?
A. There are very little literature about this subject, but I heard about treatment in which the crypts (deep and narrow grooves on the tongue in which the stones form) are burned with laser.
As far as I know these stones don't cause damage by themselves so it's not such a common treatment.
