The only way to prevent them is by having your tonsils removed.
You can pick them out using a pointy object, but be careful.
Although their cause is still something of a mystery common prevention treatments include gargling with salt water, cider vinegar, or a non-alcohol-, non-sugar-based mouth wash (eg sodium bicarbonate mouthwash).
a regular slat water gargle, keep fluids up, mouthwash, avoid bacteria and if they persist or cause problem, please see a doctor.
There are a few select products that I recommend you use that will effectively eliminate tonsil stones without unnecessary surgery. What you need is something that will neutralize the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria on contact. For this I recommend a simple combination of AktivOxigen Tablets, Nasal Sinus Drops, and an occasional use of an Oxygenating Spray (http://www.therabreath.com/docs/tonsilstones.asp).
