What's wrong with excessive saliva in the mouth

Although saliva is a relatively important liquid in the human mouth, if there is too much saliva, it also indirectly indicates that there are certain problems with human health. Excessive saliva is usually caused by poor oral conditions, front tooth deformities, or neurological disorders. These problems require certain methods of treatment or physical conditioning!

1. Poor oral hygiene

The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria. The accumulation of food residues or sugar substances in the gaps between teeth and on the tooth surfaces can easily lead to caries and periodontal disease. These adverse factors are stimulating and can cause drooling while sleeping.

2. Anterior Teeth Deformity

Dental deformity refers to the deformity of teeth, jaw, and craniofacial structure caused by congenital genetic factors or acquired environmental factors during the growth and development of children. Such as uneven tooth arrangement, protruding upper teeth, protruding chin, crooked mouth, etc. With the continuous deepening of clinical research, the concept of modern dental deformity is far more than just referring to the misalignment and uneven arrangement of teeth, but refers to a variety of deformities caused by the imbalance between teeth and craniofacial region.

Front tooth deformity may be caused by genetic factors leading to acquired bad habits, such as biting nails, sticking out tongue, biting pencil heads, etc. Drooling while sleeping is one of the most obvious manifestations of front tooth deformity.

3. Neuroregulatory disorders

The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflexive. The so-called "looking at the plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Therefore, disorders in neural regulation may also cause drooling while sleeping.

If you drool while sleeping, the drool tastes salty, and your pillowcase is light yellow, it is most likely due to poor oral hygiene, accumulation of food residues, and excessive tartar over time, which can cause gingivitis and even a small amount of bleeding gums. Therefore, the saliva that flows out while sleeping tastes salty and is light yellow in color.

It may be caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. Take lansoprazole tablets orally, one tablet a day. Rest on time, stay energetic, do not eat sour or irritating foods, and do not drink beer. I suggest you see a gastroenterologist.
