Don't worry: It is just like a regular kidney stone, if it is small enough it will pass by itself, sometimes it may need some help ( saliva stimulation), if not an oral surgeon can evaluate it and if necessary will remove it, your dentist can give you direction. Hope it will pass good luck.

Salivary gland stone: Most stones that cause symptoms will not go away unless they are removed. Since therapeutic sialendoscopy has become available to diagnose and remove the stone, the traditional surgery is done rarely. See an oral surgeon or orofacial pain specialist for and treatment.
