is important to lubricate your mouth, help with swallowing, protect your teeth against bacteria, and aid in the digestion of food. The three major pairs of salivary glands are:

parotid glands on the insides of the cheeks

submandibular glands at the floor of the mouth

sublingual glands under the tongue

There are also several hundred minor salivary glands throughout the mouth and throat. Saliva drains into the mouth through small tubes called ducts.

When there is a problem with the salivary glands or ducts, you may have symptoms such as salivary gland swelling, dry mouth, pain, fever, and foul-tasting drainage into the mouth.

Answer:

The salivary glands are located in several areas around the mouth and have ducts connected to both the upper and lower jaw. This ensures that saliva evenly coats the inner lining of the mouth. You can feel the end of these ducts just below your tongue and along the inside of your upper lip.

Explanation:

Infection: When saliva pools behind an obstruction in a duct, the gland can become infected. Infection of the lymph nodes from a sore throat or cold can also cause a secondary infection in the salivary glands.

Problems with salivary glands can cause them to become irritated and swollen. You may have symptoms such as:

#a bad taste in your mouth

#difficulty opening your mouth

#dry mouth

#pain in your face or mouth

#swelling of your face or neck or under your tongue
