Recent studies and clinical consensus indicate that no specific food directly *causes* salivary stones, but rather, certain dietary habits and conditions significantly increase risk. Salivary stones, also known as sialolithiasis, are small, calcified structures that form inside the salivary glands or their ducts. The primary triggers are often related to saliva production and mineral content, which can be influenced by what and how you eat and drink.
