In daily life, we will occasionally be embarrassed to find that after falling asleep at night, when we wake up in the morning, we find saliva stains on the pillow, and we will wonder why we drool when we sleep, so what causes us to drool when we sleep? Today Xiaobian will explain to you what are the reasons for drooling.
Why do you drool when you sleep
1. It is poor oral hygiene. If there are food residues or sugars accumulated between the teeth and on the surface of the teeth, it is easy to cause bacteria to multiply in the mouth, thereby stimulating saliva secretion and causing drooling during sleep.
2. It is a tooth deformity. The front teeth protrude forward more obviously, and it is difficult for the lips to completely cover the front tooth surface when sleeping, and there are often open lips and teeth, which is easy to cause drooling in sleep.
3. Neuromodulatory disorders. The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflexible, and the occurrence of neuromodulation disorders can cause the brain to send out the wrong signal, causing increased saliva secretion.
4. It may be that some people involuntarily breathe with their mouths when they sleep, and many of these sleeping methods will be accompanied by drooling when sleeping. In addition, the cheeks are compressed due to incorrect sleeping positions, and the lips are prone to drooling when they cannot be closed.
Ways to prevent drooling in sleep
First, do not have a mental burden, first go to a regular hospital for examination, and treat the primary disease of drooling, such as neurosis, oral inflammation, etc.;
Second, to develop good eating habits, do not go to bed immediately after meals, do not eat too much or too much to eat greasy, sticky and other indigestible foods at dinner;
Third, develop good hygiene habits such as rinsing after meals and brushing teeth before going to bed to reduce the occurrence of inflammation in the mouth;
Fourth, do not do strenuous exercise or excessive use of the brain before going to bed. If you often sleep and drool, it is best to pay more attention to the body and make up for it in time.
