Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Excessive salivation after placement of a posterior bridge is of not much concern. It is normally due to slight irritation related to a foreign body, which could be due to the bridge or the luting cement used. This will reduce in 3-4 days.
Just try to swallow the saliva rather than spitting it out. Excessive salivation if persisting more than a week can be some periodontal problem due to wrong prosthesis. In that case you should consult your dentist.

refer to your dentist
Hope this helps
