A member asked:
Recently when i try to moisturize my mouth with saliva i have been pulling strings of saliva down off of my front teeth. never had before.

New medications?: The first question would be, are you taking any medications? Certain medications have side effects that include decreased salivary flow. Check with your MD. Chewing sugarless gum can increase salivary flow as a simple fix.
