What Causes Excessive Saliva Production In The Mouth?

Hi there
I've been having excess saliva production from a month
It's been coming and going
Actually , from the internet , I checked that it. Can be due to bad oral hygiene
I had pretty bad oral hygiene
I had gone 2-3 weeks without brushing and never brushed before sleeping
After the things started, I've been taking extreme good care from 2 days now and brushing every 2 hours
I feel like it's reduced but it's not yet completely gone
How much time will it take to go as I have exams coming up and it'll be a distractions to my concentration

Hi

Thank you for your query on Health Care Magic

I understood your concern. I appreciate that you have already noticed that poor oral hygiene caused problems like hypersalivation.
There are other causes for hypersalivation that includes injury or inflammation of salivary glands,hot or spicy food diet, rabies, pellagra, side effects of drugs etc.
I also appreciate that now you follow brushing regularly. But brushing in an improper method can harm your teeth and gums if done every 2 hours.

I suggest you:
1.To brush twice daily(morning and night)
2.Avoid sticky foods
3.Brush in a proper brushing technique
4.Visit a dental clinic and know about the brushing technique for you.
5.Use Dental floss and mouthwash
6.Poor oral hygiene also causes gum disease. So you need to get the professional scaling and treatment.
7.Consult a Dentist and undergo an oral check up and get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Dont worry , Get treatment. Avoid distractions, get refreshed and do exams well.

Hope this information help

Thank you
