What's the matter with too much saliva

I don’t know if you have ever paid attention to the issue of saliva content. Some people have always wondered why they have so much saliva. Is it the same for everyone? In fact, this is not the case. There is a reason why there is excessive saliva, but perhaps everyone does not know much about this part of knowledge. Let me explain to you what is going on.

There are many reasons for excessive saliva. Not paying attention to oral hygiene habits in daily life can easily cause drooling while sleeping. Some people have tooth deformities due to congenital genetic factors or acquired bad living habits, which can also cause drooling while sleeping. In addition, patients with neurological disorders often have symptoms of drooling while sleeping. The specific reasons are as follows:

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 excessive saliva and drooling while sleeping.

2. Malformation of front teeth: This may be due to genetic factors and acquired bad habits, such as biting nails, sticking out tongue, biting pencil heads, etc., which cause deformity of front teeth, excessive saliva, and drooling while sleeping.

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.

The above three points are the reasons for excessive saliva, I believe everyone has read them. If you don't want to have too much saliva, this can be changed. As long as you maintain a normal daily routine and ensure adequate sleep, the situation can be changed. With less saliva, you will no longer drool when you sleep. This is what everyone desires.
