Question

What happens if salivary ducts are closed??

Answer 1

Saliva will not be excreted and therefore you would not feel the taste of food

Answer 2

Other signs of a blocked ductinclude dry mouth and trouble swallowing. A blocked salivary duct can also lead to sialadenitis, or an infection of a salivary gland, as bacteria is more likely to grow and multiply when your saliva is trapped in the gland. Signs of an infection can include redness, swelling and pus.
