Could you recommend natural ways to reduce excessive saliva productions?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Consult: Saliva is actually good to keep your teeth and gums healthy. However, if you feel that you have "excessive" saliva, have a consult with your dentist who can go over you complete dental and medical history and then evaluate your complaint.

Excess Saliva: Cannot recommend "cure" without knowing cause. You described a symptom, and it will require further investigation. There are numerous imbalances that can result in excessive secretions along the gastro-intestinal tract, and therefore different treatments. Please seek evaluation with either your General Dentist or your Primary Care Physician. If required, you will be referred for further studies.
