It is understood that people still secrete a small amount of saliva during sleep, which plays a role in lubricating oral mucosa and protecting teeth. Under special circumstances, I dream of delicious food, sleep improperly, grind my teeth when I sleep, and breathe with my mouth open when I sleep. , will cause drooling when sleeping.
"It is normal for adults to drool when they sleep occasionally, but if this happens for a long time, it will attract attention."
There are many reasons for drooling during sleep, including incorrect sleeping posture, nasopharyngeal and laryngeal diseases, spleen and stomach weakness, facial neuritis, stroke and other symptoms.
Among them, tooth deformity is also a cause of drooling during sleep. If you have poor oral hygiene, irregular dentition, buckteeth, temporomandibular joint and other diseases, it will lead to drooling during sleep.
Uneven teeth and bad oral habits will not only lead to drooling during sleep, but also have a certain impact on the face shape.
Moreover, crowded dentition is easy to accumulate food residues between teeth, and it is not easy to clean food residues when brushing and flossing teeth, so it is easier to form soft scale, plaque and tartar than neat teeth, and it is difficult to manage oral cleaning and health for a long time.
Some malocclusion teeth often collide with each other when chewing food, and the teeth are often subjected to abnormal pressure, which causes excessive impact on periodontal supporting tissue, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, causing tooth wear and periodontal tissue diseases.
The irregular arrangement of teeth will hinder the normal development of the upper and lower dental arches and jaws, making the deformity more and more serious. For example, the front teeth are inverted, the lower front teeth cover the upper front teeth, and the lower arch hinders the forward development of the upper front teeth, which also affects the development of the upper jaw.
No matter from the point of view of health or aesthetics, it is recommended that friends with deformed teeth correct them.
