Abstract
Tonsillolith is an uncommon dystrophic calcification as a result of chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Etiology for the formation of tonsillolith are multifactorial. Varying degrees of presentation of tonsilloliths are documented in the literature. Here we present two cases of clinically identified tonsilloliths which were asymptomatic and detected upon routine clinical examination. The aim of this paper is to enumerate the importance of examination of the tonsillar crypts and to make the general dentist aware of the presence of accumulations of such concretions in those crypts.
