Crypts of tonsils: More than likely you're describing debris that traps in the crypts of the tonsil. This is composed of bits and particles of food along with skin that is been sloughed off the tonsil region. It forms a very thick white paste and usully not much of it. Many people have a little pits in the tonsil surface that traps and accumulates this debris. It won't cause any problems so don't worry.

Tonsil stones: The balls of debris are likely a mix of old food and bacteria that stick the the holes in your tonsils. You can try a mouthwash that contains hydrogen peroxide at bedtime. Peroxyl and orajel and the 2 available ones that i recommend.
