Scant epidemiological information is
currently available concerning the occurrence
of tonsilloliths, though Weller
reported 80 cases of tonsillar concretions
from a total of 1,000 tonsil specimens.5
Therefore, it is possible that this case was
an incidental finding. In general, since
dentists are accustomed to examining the
oral cavity, however, since they rarely
examine the tonsil and pharynx area, the
presence of a tonsillolith may be easily
overlooked
