Tonsil Stone Removal

I've been getting tonsil stones for some time, noticeably since high school. They are increasingly becoming worse and for some reason got much worse while I was pregnant.

To get rid of these nasty stones, I used to use q-tips with peroxide and dig them out, but it seemed like this just made the hole bigger/deeper. Now I still use peroxide (diluted with water), but I use the edge of a Reach brand flosser to get them out... It's the size of a toothbrush with a long handle and a disposable floss head that pops out to replace. This seems to work better and not open the pockets as much.

I'm also going to start gargling with salt and baking soda mixed with warm water and see if that doesn't help. I'm tired of dealing with this and the bad breath that comes along with it! I may go see an ENT doctor.
