I have a problem that is killing me. My tongue does always feel dirty and I am cleaning it two times a day, every morning and every evening. I get tonsil stones and I have popped out very many of them. If I squeeze my tonsils there will always come white mucus out of them, or a tonsil stone... I constantly feel that there is something stuck in my throat, which are tonsil stones that I haven't gotten out yet because I can't find them no matter how much I push on my tonsils.
I am not sure if I am suffering from post nasal drip but every time I eat junk food or just food that contains much dairy I will have to clear my throat constantly approximately 20 minutes after I have eaten the food.

You need a doctor. I don't think seeing a dentist would be enough. Sorry, not gonna look at your picture.
PS: Welcome to City-Data.
I don't think the pictures looks too awful. I have sent them to like 10 doctors and they are all saying that it looks just fine, that I have nothing to worry about. But it certainly doesn't feel like everything is right. It feels so wrong.
From the looks of your pics it doesn't seem like anything is really amiss. Tonsil stones in tonsils like yours (what they call cryptic tonsils) is relatively common (I get them myself). Gargle with warm salt water and that can help keep the pockets of your tonsils cleared out. Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper or toothbrush to get rid of the coating.
Also, simple fix is to cut down on the foods you feel give this issue. Cut down on Dairy, and quit the junk. If it's really bothering you or your tonsils are getting infected then seeing your Primary Doctor or Ear, Nose and Throat specialist can help.
I can suggest you some effective tips for this problem. Drink green tea that is helpful to clear the bacteria in the mouth. second point is Oil pulling that is very effective, just take cold pressed organic sesame seed oil and switch it around the mouth for 10 to 15 minutes but don't gargel the oil.
