Cryptic tonsils are the manifestation of repeated inflammation of the tonsils. In particular, the term is used to indicate the occupation of the space of the crypts present on the surface of the tonsillar glands, by infectious debris, deposits of calcific material or food residues. Cryptic tonsils are associated with the appearance of whitish plaques (tonsillolith) and bad breath (halitosis), ear pain, sore throat, hypertrophic tonsils and swallowing problems. A 25-year-old patient comes to the practice for oral hygiene when we notice his cryptic tonsils that cause him to form tonsilloliths and halitosis, creating embarrassment for the patient and limits in interpersonal relationships.
