Saliva: Saliva is an essential part of the digestion process and critical to the health of the teeth and gums. It is produced as a result of ingesting food. That is what is supposed to happen. Saliva is good while the lack of a sufficient amount of saliva is big concern. Be grateful you don't suffer from dry mouth. If you have any other symptoms or concerns, have your dentist and physician examine you.

What would cause excessive salivation after eating? I take Pepcid Complete after meals, but I doubt that's the cause of it. Someone told me it's probably just my body producing saliva to help aid in the digestion of the food I just ate.... any ideas?
