The lingual frenulum, also known as the frenum, connects the floor of the mouth to the tongue. Ankyloglossia occurs when the frenulum is thick and severely limits movement of the tongue. In such cases, a frenectomy may be necessary to release the tongue. There are multiple salivary glands within the mouth, especially along the mouth floor. Failure of the glands to produce saliva results in xerostomia and can be caused by medical conditions or drugs.
The glands are located in and around the mouth and throat. The major salivary glands are called the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. They all secrete saliva into the mouth: the parotid through ducts near the upper teeth, submandibular into the front portion under the tongue, and the sublingual through multiple ducts in the floor of the mouth.
