Saliva can also reflect health risks

Saliva is a natural oral disinfectant that helps keep gums healthy, cleans food particles, prevents dental caries and other infections. The body produces about 1.4 liters of saliva daily. In addition, saliva can also reflect health risks.


1. Saliva is bitter or sour. It may be acid reflux, making stomach acid run into the throat, producing a nauseating taste. In addition to acid in the mouth and throat, the most common symptom of acid reflux is heartburn, and the patient feels bad breath or nausea.


2. Excessive amount of saliva. Studies have shown that pregnant women produce more saliva, which may be due to changes in hormone secretion, and may also be nausea side effects. The increased saliva volume does not have much health risk. Chewing gum or hard candy can swallow excess saliva.


3. The tongue is sticky. You may be accustomed to breathing with your mouth. Inhaling and exhaling through the nose is the best way to maintain adequate moisture in the mouth. Since saliva is a natural disinfectant in the mouth, there is not enough saliva, bacteria and tooth decay will follow. People who breathe mouths have relatively more health problems.


4. Saliva is in a white block. This may be an oral infection. Candida albicans in the mouth can cause yeast infections, ie "fungal stomatitis". Although fungal stomatitis is rare in healthy adults, people with diabetes are particularly susceptible to the disease because the sugar in saliva causes the yeast to grow.


5. The amount of saliva is too small. This may be caused by the medication being taken. The side effects of more than 300 drugs can cause dry mouth. Health problems force you to take more drugs and dry mouth. At this point, you need to be extra vigilant about oral hygiene and avoid tooth decay.


6. Acidity is too high. The pH of the oral cavity is generally near neutral (ie, the pH is about 7). Although it is difficult for people to perceive, if the pH value is out of balance, the bacteria will breed between the comfortable corner and the gap between the teeth. Acidic saliva erodes teeth and causes tooth decay.
