See a Dentist: Several salivary glands empty their contents into the floor of the mouth under the tongue near the lingual frenulum. Before trying to remove a stone or sialiolith from a duct, you need to make sure it is a stone. As the floor of the mouth is a very vascular and sensitive area, I would recommend you see a dentist for evaluation and treatment rather than attempting surgery on yourself.
