Stimulation stimulates the salivary glands for many reasons, such as: eating too many spicy and hot spices, eating too much dinner; the state of nervous stress while sleeping is accompanied by a grinding teeth; bad gastrointestinal tract, gastric inflammation or ulcer; abnormal sleep, anxiety state .
When the salivary discharge is prolonged, you should see a doctor who specializes in endocrinology and digestion to be diagnosed and treated more accurately. Atropine-containing saliva-reducing medications may stop temporary salivation, but the drug is only used in special cases for oral surgery and only works for a short time.
Temporarily to reduce saliva production, you can reduce hot spicy food; Do not chew gum to avoid excessive saliva; the evening did not eat much before bedtime.
