sialolithiasis is the medical term for a salivary gland stone that partially or fully blocks saliva flow. It most often affects the submandibular gland (under the jaw), but it can involve the parotid gland (near the ear) or smaller glands. It is commonly used in dentistry, oral medicine, ENT (ear–nose–throat), and head-and-neck care to describe obstructive salivary gland disease. The typical symptom pattern is swelling and discomfort that can worsen around mealtimes.
