Vitamin c in my salivary gland, what can i do?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Vit C or calcium?: Vit c/ascorbic acid, can stimulate and enlarge the salivary gland, potentially causing an increase in saliva production, but, studies show, for only a short time and is only used for oral/thyroid cancer patients with severe salivary gland damage. Calcium deposits in salivary glands block them causing pain. Need to see an oral surgeon to correct the blockage. Good luck!

Sialolith?: Do you mean calcium deposits? If so, that is a sialolith, which is a blockage in the salivary gland. It might work itself out or need to be seen by a dentist for removal.
