WHAT IS SIALORRHEA?
Sialorrhea is a condition characterized by excessive saliva production, often resulting in drooling. It can be physically uncomfortable, socially distressing, and medically risky if it interferes with swallowing or increases the risk of aspiration.
Sialorrhea is commonly associated with neurological or medical conditions such as:
Parkinson’s disease
Cerebral palsy
Stroke
ALS and other neuromuscular disorders
When left untreated, symptoms can significantly affect daily functioning and self-esteem.
Your dentist will clearly explain which option applies to you.
