Excess Saliva causing taking problems

Excess Saliva causing taking problems

HI,
Last year I asked the Dentist why I had excess saliva and he told me to ask my Doctor, when I eventually got to the Doctor he told me to ask my Dentist.  My hygenist didn't know the answer.  Last time at the Dentist I ran off possible reasons I found on the internet and left them with My Dentist , he was going to look them over and research the problem .... probably because I told him I think the problem might be my partial denture and I was thinking of getting all my teeth out. I am tired of having difficulty talking and speaking NOT clearly.  Other problems are sore facial bones from sucking the saliva together to swallow, my teeth left the inside of my lower lip tender from sucking & gathering the saliva to swallow. My wife says I am always sucking and my cheeks (side) cave in when I do this.
I just want to know who can diagnose my problem ?
Mike

I have the same problem as you, but I don't have dentures.  Hold on to what teeth you have!  Do you have post-nasal-drip?  It may be that.  Don't hold your breath about your doctor researching your problem, they won't.
