Salivary gland stones sometimes form in one of the salivary glands. These stones are small and form from chemicals in the saliva. A stone can cause a blockage of the flow of spit (saliva), which can lead to pain and swelling of the affected salivary gland. The reason why these stones form is not known. Sometimes a stone comes out into the mouth on its own, or with a gentle massage. However, a small procedure may be needed to remove the stone.
