Have Saliva Build-up In Mouth. Help

Hi, why is it that every morning i wake up with a build up of saliva in my mouth? Its not a bad smell and when i spit it out and rinse my mouth out its ok but every morning i always have that without fail. It disturbs my sleep too because i try to keep my mouth shut during the night so that i dont drool on my pillow. Please help me its been like this for years..!

Hi,
This might be due to collection of saliva during night time and so you have full mouth of having saliva.
This might be due to some infection in your mouth or having some dental problem like poor oral hygiene, dental carries, deposition of tarter, gingivitis etc.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
