Mucocele: Mucocele is a minor salivary gland with a blocked duct. Usually resolves on its own. Sometimes, however, it comes back repetitively. If that's the case, see an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for relief.

I have had what I think is a mucocele on my lower lip for years now. It's also quite large. No one seems to know who I should see to have it removed. My oral surgeon would not. I would like to get rid of it, as I have difficulty speaking sometimes?
