Sialolithiasis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Care for sialolithiasis usually falls to the maxillofacial surgeon and, in the dental field, to the dentist or the dental surgeon, since it consists of the formation of stones or "pebbles" within the salivary glands or their ducts, which obstructs the normal flow of saliva.
Common symptoms: Swelling and pain in the affected area, especially when eating, when saliva production increases and the duct is blocked.
Common causes: It is related to the concentration of minerals in the saliva and to factors that favor its stagnation within the gland.
When should you seek help? If the swelling is recurrent, painful, or accompanied by signs of infection, it is advisable to have a professional examine the gland and provide guidance on the steps to follow.
