I have really bubbly saliva. I gag a lot. I have to spit them out. They won't stay down when I keep trying to swallow them and the whole time I just feel like I'm choking on my own spit.. Sometimes I actually "puke" the bubbly saliva when it's too much... It's crazy and I'm tired of it.

You guys should try to have it absorbed by crackers or something dry. No I’m not trolling lmfao but seriously I would try to make the most of it by doing something that is the opposite of it like how a dry face needs moisturizing. Kind of like that. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say

Within days of having dental implants fitted i’ve been waking up in the morning with a dry mouth, then throughout the day i’m producing excessive amounts of salvia. The Dentist told me to see a Doctor, which i have, the Doctor tells me to see a Dentist. Is it possible the Dentist could have drilled to deep into the roof on my mouth. Can you suggest what i should do next

Any diagnosis ?
I would like to know why a person sometimes slurps saliva in order to swallow it (not at a meal time). I have noticed it in children. My 8 year olds friend did it and then my child started doing it, I insistended she srop making the slurping sound/action and it took a few months but she did drop it. This would have me assume it is a mindless habit that can be corrected through effort. An adult friend does this and does not know why and doesn't think he can stop. He thinks there must be a reason that his mouth needs to do it. When I try to google it the results are all in regards to misophonia or the annoyance of slurping noises. I would like understanding of why it is happening, habit, tick, structural...? (also, I have known an adult who had overproduction of saliva but he never did this slurping his saliva)
hoping u read this and can. help. i have been having a problem where my mouth and even back of throat has been secreting too much saliva too frequently. i spit it out or swallow it and 5 seconds later (yes i have timed this) it is already fulling again with saliva and i feel it secreting. 5 doctors no help. it is clear like water but is foamy too

Really? Gosh has it become better for you? Sounds terrible
I have a lot of saliva because I smile all the time (literally, it's my neutral expression), sometimes when I get excited and talk really fast I drool, or when I laugh a whole lot. It's embarrassing but also funny. I sometimes drool on purpose just to be funny. I know, I have a really immature sense of humor. I'm 23 but still find drooling and blowing spit bubbles funny.
every morning when i wake up i keep choking on that stuff its as soon as i sit up thats it cant breathe then i start coughing the saliva out into a container i fill this container once a week its becoming annoying now its not just coming from my mouth its my nose too.... had this problem for years!
