A member asked:
Each morning i wake up with a mouth full of saliva, and it smells and it is thick. what are the possible reasons for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thick saliva odor: Thick saliva with a bad odor can mean many things. It could be a dental abscess, periodontal disease, sinus infection and maye even digestive issues. I suggest you see a dentist and an MD to evaluate your condition.
