Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Drooling of saliva while sleeping is due to the habit of mouth breathing,Incomplete lip seal while sleeping.
I would advice you to get a thorough evaluation.
Get a thorough scaling done.
Infected carious tooth has to be restored.
Pus has to be drained if any.
Antibiotics-analgesics has to be administered to prevent infection.
Hope this helps.
