These are tonsil stones. Some tonsils are pourous and some are very smooth. I had the same problem. Very dedicated to flossing and brushing but had DRAGON breath and sore throats because of tonsil stones. In and of itself, they are not dangerous to overall health and most docs will play conservative and tell you how to "manage" this condition (salt water garge, usage of pick to clean, etc).

Insurance plans also will not take them out because of this. If you want them out bad enough, you and the doctor will have to link the tonsils to a larger issue - like chronic sinus or ear or glandular infections.

Good luck.
