Take your time: It is likely that you are not pausing enough during speech, which would allow you to swallow your saliva. You may benefit from soeech therapy if it becomes an intrusive problem.

No treatment: Producing a lot of saliva is a good thing so i would not recommend to reduce your saliva production. Try to speak slower so that when you feel it accumulating you can easily swallow. If you're having trouble pronouncing words or speaking in general you may want to consult a speech pathologist. They might have better exercises you can follow.
