Salivary Gland Disorders

The salivary glands are tissues located in your mouth and throat. Their primary function is to maintain oral and dental hygiene and aid chewing and digestion. Salivary glands also prevent dehydration, as they signal to the body to produce more fluid when the mouth is dry.

Our physicians evaluate and treat the spectrum of common disorders and diseases that affect the salivary glands.
