Salivary Gland Disorders treatment in Reynosa

Salivary gland disorders cover various disturbances of the glands that produce saliva, such as blockages, infections, inflammation, or growths, which can affect the amount or flow of saliva.

Common symptoms: Swelling or pain in the area of the cheeks or under the jaw, especially when eating, dry mouth, bad taste, or, in some cases, a noticeable lump.

Common causes: Stones that block the ducts, infections, dehydration, and other conditions that alter saliva production.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist and the oral and maxillofacial surgeon are the professionals who usually evaluate these glands, with support from the dentist in matters related to oral health. If you notice recurring swelling or pain in that area, having it checked by a specialist helps pinpoint the origin.
