A salivary stone is a calcified structure that may form inside a salivary gland or duct. It can block the flow of saliva into the mouth. The majority of stones affect the submandibular glands located at your floor of the mouth. The dentist confirms it by physical examination and sometimes xrays are required.
For smaller stones, salivary flow can be induced by sucking lemon or sour candies. The dentist massage the area and push the stone out of the duct. For larger ducts, incision should be made and it should be removed.
Next Steps
Kindly visit your dentist for further management.
