See your dentist: Seek the care of your dentist. This can simply be the salivary ducts, but it is always better to visually check first with the dentist. The dentist can perform an oral cancer examination with a veloscope or with visilite procedure in addition to manually palpation of the area in question.

See your dentist: The lump under the tongue can be a harmless anatomical structure, but it can also be the sign of a more serious condition. Some conditions also may require further assessment; tests and your doctor may schedule a follow-up appointment or refer you to a specialist to determine a diagnosis. Do not delay.
