Sialolithiasis means stone in your Salivary gland. The stone if not removed or dislodged will slowly grow in size and start giving you pain, swelling and infection of that Salivary gland.
We remove this stone via sialendoscopy.

Consult a dentist. Sometimes the stone dislodges on its own or even the patient can remove it. Get it checked by your dentist to see if it requires any treatment
