- Salivary gland duct stones, sublingual salivary glands located at the bottom of the mouth, are the glands most susceptible to this rare disease among all salivary glands. If the infection recurs repeatedly, it is best treated with surgery.
- When the saliva's chemicals and salt are surrounded by a small, hard substance or mucus layer in the catheter, a piece of it forms in the catheter
- Due to stone obstruction, the salivary glands in the subcondylar region, behind or below the maxillary horn are enlarged, and the swelling is more obvious when eating.
- If there is any enlargement under the chin, behind or below the jaw angle, you should go to the hospital for X-ray examination of the oral cavity, or X-ray examination of the salivary tube. Treatment can be performed by surgery, and the stones are removed after local anesthesia. If the condition recurs after surgery, the doctor will make a permanent opening in the catheter to allow saliva to drain directly from the salivary glands into the mouth cavity. This avoids the possibility of regenerating stones and scarring. If the salivary glands have stones, the doctor will surgically remove the salivary glands. Patients with recurrent infections are best treated with this procedure.
- Middle-aged and elderly people are the most affected by salivary duct stones.
