Suggest Treatment For Salivary Gland Stone
I have been dignosed w a salivatory gland stone by one doctor, second dr sent me for a cat scan where it was inconclussive, he said it could be a stone, a or an old infection that calcified, he reccommended i remove it asap.. said an needle biopsy are not usually accurate.
What kind of doctor should i see and is surgery the only way to detect and be sure its not cancer..
I am 48 5'2" weight about 170 recently fell down a flight of steps wher i broke fingers, my nose, damage to by cervical spine as well as my lower spind. I landed on my face. My jaw felt as if it shifted and my teeth were perfectly aligned, they are off about 1/2mm.

Hi
With your query, since it was concluded that as a calcified structure only way of treatment is removal and it can't be a cancer. You can visit your oral surgeon for the treatment nothing to worry about it. Usually when there is a caluculi in the duct you feel pain when you start eating something so notice it .hope this helps you
