A member asked:
I was wondering what are sublingual glands/salivary glands is it cause by my impacted wisdom teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal Glands: The sublingual glands are normal anatomical structures that are one of the major salivary glands along with the parotid and submandibular glands responsible for producing saliva in the mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth are not responsible or contribute to the development of the glands.

Unrelated: Salivary glands unrelated to wisdom teeth. See wisdom tooth expert. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
