ENT doctor would be better for addressing issues with tonsils. If there are not symptoms you may watch and wait and the stone may come out on its own. Visit this site for information on this topic: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21505-tonsil-stones

Periodontists clean teeth, restore unhealthy gums, do implants, and other surgical procedures. A ENT or OTOLARYNGOLIGIST is best specialist for this procedure. This is not a dental procedure.
