Methods to increase saliva secretion

Saliva secretion plays a key role in human health, but in daily life many people do not know how to enhance saliva secretion. Insufficient saliva secretion may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction or a variety of oral diseases. It is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to determine the cause and then prescribe the right medicine. Pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining oral hygiene. You can also take VC tablets to recover health as soon as possible.

1Hello, you can drink more water at ordinary times, and pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene for tongue coating. Now in larger supermarkets, medical equipment stores, and pharmacies, there is a tongue scraper for cleaning the tongue. You can buy one. Some brands of toothbrushes have tongue cleaners on the back, which can be used to clean the tongue surface (be careful not to use the bristles of the toothbrush to brush the tongue surface). It is very simple to stimulate saliva secretion. You can eat acidic food, put a VC tablet under your tongue, and chew gum to stimulate saliva secretion.

Suggestions: After brushing your teeth in the morning, drink a glass of cold boiled water first, which can wash away the waste accumulated in the stomach overnight. Also, drink more water at ordinary times. Drinking more water can promote metabolism, eat more fruits and vegetables, and supplement vitamins. Exercising more often can also help eliminate waste from the body.

3 Condition analysis: ① In terms of oral cavity, the chewing function is often reduced due to factors such as missing teeth, caries, periodontal disease, and inappropriate dentures, which reduces the stimulation of the salivary glands and chewing muscles and causes a decrease in saliva secretion; on the other hand, the salivary glands may undergo degenerative changes, causing changes in the amount and quality of saliva secretion. This situation is more common in the elderly. In addition, patients with chronic saliva secretion may also decrease, leading to dry mouth. ② In terms of systemic factors, suffering from Sjögren's syndrome or vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, especially sex hormone secretion disorders, are also important causes of xerostomia. In addition, temporary dry mouth may also occur when the patient has a high fever, takes diuretics, or undergoes major surgery, especially major abdominal surgery. Patients with immune diseases such as rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, or patients with nephrotic syndrome, may have dry mouth due to reduced saliva secretion caused by long-term use of hormones. Suggestions: Less saliva is related to reduced secretion of salivary glands, and there are many reasons for this. Drinking more water and eating more fruits and vegetables can generally improve the situation. However, it is still recommended that you see a Chinese medicine doctor and ask the doctor for dialectical treatment. After the diagnosis is confirmed, targeted treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. Pay attention to lifestyle adjustments: ⑴ Ensure adequate and regular sleep. Sleep affects various secretions of the human body. This does not refer to saliva, but mainly to gastric juice secretion.
