Patient's question:
I recently always drool when I take a nap, whether it's at noon or in the evening. I'd like to ask what causes adults to drool?Doctor's answer:
When sleeping, drooling can vary depending on the situation. If it occurs occasionally and the amount is manageable, it may change when taking a nap. If there is excessive drooling, it is important to consider whether it is due to oral issues.1. Poor oral hygiene: The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most conducive to bacterial growth. Food residue or sugary substances left between teeth and on tooth surfaces can easily lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. These poor factors can trigger drooling while sleeping.
