Tonsil stones can easily be removed on your own - either you use a long object like a chopstick and apply pressure, or you wiggle around your tongue. Gargle with mouthwash first to loosen them and it should come out easily.
As far as the specialist's recommendation goes, removing your tonsils will prevent future irritation from tonsil stones. However, the tonsils exist for a reason - they catch dirt and prevent further infections such as sore throat from occurring. The worst tonsil stones do is give you bad breath, and you can work around this by just practicing proper oral care. You don't need to have them removed unless you regularly get tonsillitis.

Last time I YOLO and use water bidet blast water straight at it. Not sure is the water dislodged it or the subsequent choking and coughing
lulz, must be the gag reflex.I did tried the DIY method using chopstick, plastic spoon, the buttend of my tooth brush, but its easier said than done. The gag reflex is there for a reason. I do plan on getting waterpik. A lot of people recommend it for:
1) self cleaning for the teeth
2) works wonders removing tonsil stones via controlled water jet
