A member asked:
Is it normal for glands under tongue to be asymmetrical? the left side looks more "fleshy" than the right. no pain or discomfort. i probably have always had this but i paid attention today. i have my dental checkup in 3 days?

A certain amount of asymmetry in paired organs is normal. Left breast normally hangs lower than the right.

The salivary glands and their associated ducts under your Tonge may normally be asymmetric, just as one hand is slightly larger than the other, one ear lobe slightly longer than the other, etc. Be sure to ask you Dentist to take a look just to put your mind at ease. It's important to you, therefore will be important to our Dentist.
