Patient's question:
When sleeping, my mouth tends to drool. I don't like eating. 11 years old, 145 cm, 65 kg. What should I do? As soon as I shout loudly or sing, my throat becomes hoarse immediately. I can't speak, but it doesn't hurt.Doctor's answer:
Generally caused by the following factors:1. Poor oral hygiene: The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most suitable for bacterial growth. Accumulation of food debris or sugary substances in the gaps between teeth and on the tooth surface. Prone to dental caries and periodontal disease. These adverse factors can stimulate salivation, leading to drooling during sleep. Inflammation in the mouth can also promote saliva production. If the mouth is infected with bacteria, pain will be significant, and drooling may occur. Local medication may be needed to promote ulcer healing, and the drooling will naturally subside.
2. Malocclusion of the front teeth: This may be caused by genetic factors or acquired bad habits, such as biting nails, sticking out the tongue, or chewing pencil tips, which can result in malocclusion of the front teeth.
