SALIVARY GLAND DISORDERS
There are numerous salivary glands located primarily in and around the mouth. These glands produce and excrete saliva that helps to break down food as well as for protection of our teeth and mucous membranes. Somtimes these glands can become enlarged/inflamed or obstructed due to a mass, stone, or infection. An ENT can evaluate and treat salivary gland problems with medication, office procedures, and sometimes surgery.
