Second, the front teeth are deformed: this may be due to acquired bad habits caused by genetic factors, such as biting nails, sticking out your tongue, biting pencils, etc. , causing the front teeth to deform and drool when sleeping.

Third, neuromodulation disorder: the regulation of saliva secretion is completely reflective. The so-called "looking at plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Therefore, the disorder of neuromodulation can also lead to drooling during sleep.

The so-called "saliva" is saliva. There are many glands in human mouth, such as sublingual gland, submandibular gland, salivary gland and parotid gland. Among them, the salivary gland secretes a lot of saliva day and night, which is directly put into the mouth through the tubule.

Generally speaking, 3-4-month-old babies gradually supplement starchy foods in their diet, so the secretion of saliva is greatly increased. But at this time, the baby's swallowing function is not perfect, the mouth is shallow, the lip closing and swallowing movements are not coordinated, and saliva will flow out of the mouth. After the baby arrives at 7-8 months, because the teeth that are erupting stimulate the nerves in the mouth, they secrete a lot of saliva, and then there will be more drooling. When the baby grows up, the regulating function of saliva secretion and swallowing function will gradually improve, and the phenomenon of drooling will disappear. Therefore, baby drooling is a normal physiological phenomenon.
