Ignoring tonsil stones and halitosis can have several potential complications. Untreated tonsil stones can lead to chronic bad breath, which can have a negative impact on social interactions and self-esteem. The persistent presence of tonsil stones can also contribute to recurrent infections in the throat and tonsils.
