Tonsils stones
I have my molars growing but the current has taken longer. I have a history of tonsil stones and after like 3 years I recently spotted one that was unusually bigger and soon after I've experienced tiny tonsils stones in between the gums.The gums at the molars hurt if there are the stones accumulated so I have to constantly remove them. I just wonder if the stones could be accumulating underneath the tooth and come out so I have to have it removed. I am just tired of having the molar tooth not growing.

The tooth is not coming up as it is impacted. The angle of the tooth is tilted or there isn't enough space to erupt.
Its mostly needs to be extracted. However final decision can only be made on clinical examination.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination and x ray.

If the tooth is taking more time to erupt then it's called impaction, we need to see the angulation of the tooth whether I,e. Horizontal or vertical and if that's the case u need to go for extraction.
Next Steps
Visit dentist and get a full mouth x ray done
