A member asked:
Is saliva overproduction related to your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : It is more likely related to your diet. Foods that stimulate saliva as you chew with your teeth is related. The longer you chew will stimulate more saliva. Sour will cause more stimulation.
