A member asked:
Before i eat, i have to stare at my food for several mins. if i don't i'll have saliva shoot out of my mouth. could this be overactive salvia glands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: I suggest a dental and oral surgical consultation. Staring at your food? Really? Did this just start? Get examined..
