Wharton's duct is a tubular structure that empties the submaxillary salivary gland - located underneath your lower jaw - to the space just under your tongue around the area where it is connected to the bottom of your mouth by the lingual frenum. Sometimes you can develop a salivary stone (similar to a kidney stone) in these ducts that must be removed by an oral surgeon.
