Tonsil stones, tonsils. The tonsils (palatine tonsils) are a pair of soft tissue masses located at the rear of the throat (pharynx). Each tonsil is composed of tissue similar to lymph nodes, covered by pink mucosa (like on the adjacent mouth lining). Running through the mucosa of each tonsil are pits, called crypts.
What Causes Tonsil Stones? By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert. If you have bad breath (halitosis) and the uncontrollable urge to clear your throat, you may have tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths). Tonsil stones are not a sign of poor hygiene or poor oral health practices. Tonsil stones are hardened white or yellow globules that form inside pockets/crevices (crypts) on the surface of the tonsils, located in the back of the mouth directly behind your lower molars or wisdom teeth.
