Salivary Gland Stones

Salivary gland stones are calcified deposits that form in the salivary glands, leading to pain, swelling, and blockage of saliva flow, often resulting in infection.

What is it?

Salivary gland stones, or sialolithiasis, occur when calcium-rich deposits form in the salivary glands, blocking the flow of saliva and causing pain and swelling.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Pain and swelling in the face, mouth, or neck, especially when eating

  • Dry mouth or difficulty swallowing

  • Swelling in the affected salivary gland

  • Decreased saliva flow

  • Recurrent infections in the salivary glands

Causes

  1. Dehydration: Lack of fluids can lead to the formation of stones.

  2. High Calcium Levels: Elevated calcium levels in saliva can contribute to stone formation.

  3. Saliva Stagnation: Reduced saliva flow or blockages in the ducts may lead to stone development.

  4. Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate oral care may increase the risk of salivary stones.

  5. Medications: Certain drugs that decrease saliva production, such as antihistamines or diuretics, can lead to sialolithiasis.
