Salivating like a dog on a hot summer's day

Salivating like a dog on a hot summer's day

#1 Post by Spooky Tooth »

Hi all,

I'm just finishing week one on my first of twenty trays upper and lower. So far, I haven't had any pain at all (but I don't get my attachments until tray 3).

I have read a few posts from others saying the excessive salivation goes away as the mouth becomes accustomed to the trays. But I'm still salivating a lot!

Anyone else having the same problem? Can anyone suggest any good tricks for reducing the salivation?

Thank you

I haven´t had the problem with excessive salivation, but I needed about 2-3 weeks until I could speak like before. Maybe you have to wait one more week?

Good luck :banana:
