Any disorder affecting nerves associated with the mouth or throat can result in excessive saliva, either because more is being produced, or because of difficulties in swallowing, more is being stored in the mouth.
Stimulation of saliva by non-food products such as sugarless chewing gum can increase the salivary flow rate with no detrimental effects on the oral tissues. Masticatory stimulation such as gum chewing causes the salivary glands to produce more fluid. This stimulated saliva contains more ions, including neutralizing bicarbonate, calcium, and phosphorous, which are available to remineralize dental enamel.
