So now in order to better solve the problem of children's drooling, we will analyze several reasons in detail. After knowing the reasons, we can solve them accordingly.

Children drooling is generally caused by the following factors:

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. If your child is still drooling after the age of 2-3, you can take him to the hospital to ask a pediatrician to check him, do professional tests and check his nerves, brain, swallowing and muscle function so that he can receive timely treatment. */
