What to do if you have excessive saliva after tooth extraction:
1. After tooth extraction, maintain regular dental hygiene by flossing daily to prevent bacterial growth and reduce saliva production.
2. Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist.
3. Avoid eating spicy or greasy foods after tooth extraction, as they may irritate the mouth and increase saliva production.
4. Eat fruits such as apples, oranges, and pears daily to improve oral cleanliness.
5. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, which can irritate the mouth and worsen excessive salivation.
6. Rinse your mouth with warm water after meals to help reduce saliva production.
