A member asked:
My saliva is a little on the yellow-brown side. could this be from a dry socket or infection or is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yellow saliva: If you have had extractions done, this could be a normal post-operative event. Colored saliva could also be from a heavily seasoned diet such as curry or it could also be a sign of stomach upset and acid reflux.
