Waterymouthed

Waterymouthed is an informal term used to describe the sensation of having an excessive amount of saliva in one's mouth. This condition can be caused by various factors, both physiological and psychological. Physiologically, it may be related to certain medications, dental issues, or conditions affecting the salivary glands. Some medical conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or certain neurological disorders, can also lead to increased salivation.

Psychologically, the anticipation of food, strong smells, or even certain emotional states can trigger a watering mouth. This is a natural reflex that prepares the digestive system for eating. However, when the saliva production becomes excessive and persistent, it can be uncomfortable and lead to difficulties in swallowing or speaking. The term "waterymouthed" is generally used in everyday conversation and is not a formal medical diagnosis. Individuals experiencing persistent or bothersome excessive salivation should consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management. There are no specific treatments for "waterymouthed" itself, but addressing the underlying cause can help alleviate the symptom.
