Causes of Tonsil Stones
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Common in Teenagers
Pretty much anybody can develop tonsil stones; there is little evidence to say that any particular sociodemographic is more likely to get them. Asides, that is, from people who make certain lifestyle choices that might encourage the growth of tonsil stones. Tonsil stones can also develop in people of all ages, but they do appear to occur more commonly in teenagers. It is not clear why this is, however.
If you are a teenager, then it may be a good idea to get regular check-ups and take what precautions you can against tonsil stones. Regular check-ups are advisable anyway to help maintain good overall oral health.
