Answer : located under the jaw,under the tongue,and just anterior to the ears.There are three groups of salivary glands. The most important are the Parotid Glands which sit just in front of the ear. There are three salivary glands in the mouth region too. The Submandibular glands (one each side) sit beneath and beind the mandible. The Sublingual gland (only one) sits beneath the tongue.
