What is the situation of drooling while sleeping during pregnancy?

Drooling while sleeping is one of the very common problems during pregnancy. Drooling while sleeping during pregnancy will not have any significant impact on our pregnancy, but drooling while sleeping during pregnancy can only mean that our oral hygiene is poor during pregnancy, or there is a problem with the dental nerves. Let’s take a closer look at what causes it.

1. Poor oral hygiene: The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria. The accumulation of food residues or sugar substances in the gaps between teeth and on the tooth surfaces can easily lead to caries and periodontal disease. These adverse factors are stimulating and can cause drooling while sleeping.

2. Malformation of front teeth: This may be due to genetic factors and acquired bad habits, such as biting nails, sticking out tongue, biting pencil heads, etc., which cause deformity of front teeth and drooling while sleeping.

3. Neuroregulatory disorders: The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflexive. The so-called "looking at the plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Therefore, disorders in neural regulation may also cause drooling while sleeping.

If you drool while sleeping, the drool tastes salty, and your pillowcase is light yellow, it is most likely due to poor oral hygiene, accumulation of food residues, and excessive tartar over time, which can cause gingivitis and even a small amount of bleeding gums. Therefore, the saliva that flows out while sleeping tastes salty and is light yellow in color.

The prevention and treatment methods are: first of all, pay attention to oral hygiene, and develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinsing your mouth after meals. You can also consult a dentist, use cleaning therapy to remove tartar, take vitamins C and B2 and other medicines to eliminate gingivitis and reduce adverse stimulation.

After the above understanding, we know that drooling while sleeping during pregnancy will not have any impact on our pregnancy, but this problem must also be solved well, so we must maintain good hygiene habits, pay attention to eating light food, not overeating, etc. Only by developing good living habits can we be healthy and happy during pregnancy.
