Hi.
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain salivary stones are crystalline structures that are formed from the minerals present in saliva..

In case if you have stones in the salivary glands that are deep enough to be removed surgically then the best thing is to first of all decide the particular oral surgeon who will do the surgery and the cost of the treatment depends upon the location and the charges decided by the treating surgeon..

So it will be better to decide the surgeon first and then only you can get the exact idea about the charges..

If the stones are superficial then they can be manually removed but if they are deep the surgical removal can be done under Sialographic guidance..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards..
