The sublingual gland arises in 20 mm embryos in the eighth week of intrauterine life as numerous small epithelial thickenings in the linguogingival groove and on the outer side of the groove. Each thickening forms its own canal and so many of the sublingual ducts open directly onto the summit of the sublingual fold. Those that arise within the linguogingival grove end up draining into the submandibular duct.
