Can we see Salivary glands on floor of mouth?

[ShaunRyder]

I can see little tiny lumps/bumps on floor of mouth, maybe 3? Not very big, but sometimes they seem to show and other times i cant really see them, can we see glands under the tounge? or anything else? pretty worrie.

I have been wondering the same thing. I read there were so many in the mouth.Right now I am suppose to be having an issue with salivary glands but not so sure that is it.I think its more with my teeth.Hope you can find this out.

Yes you can see them, they stand out quite a bit and I actually had one of them blocked some years ago...very painful (imagine sucking lemons!) For which my GP gave me a strong antibiotic in powder form as I recall, to be desolved in water which seemed to immediately ease the pain and reduce the swelling. But even normally they can be quite prominent.

Yes you have saliva ducts which are prominent on the floor of your mouth, at the base of your tongue.
