Spitting on people
Does any one know why I spit on people when I talk to them? It's upsetting to me as I see everyone wiping off their face when I talk to them. I have had this problem for the last 10 years. please help. I do have type 2 diabetes and b vitamin deficiencies. I also have hypothyroidism (hashimotos). I take synthroid 100mg since 1995, Victoza injection, januvia, and hazaar and b12 2000 mg sublingual, b9, and biotin for the last year. I went to a dentist and a salivary gland specialist and they don't think it's a big deal! Because they say dry mouth is worse, but i have the opposite of that. The ent prescribed rubinol to dry up the saliva which I haven't taken yet. I have even thought about making my front 6 teeth longer to keep from spitting on people when I talk! It's really bad when I am happy to see someone or excited so go figure I can't even enjoy myself and talk to someone without me spraying them! PLEASE HELP!
What do you think I could take that would dry up my saliva? I also was wondering if this has anything to do with my hashimotos because I think my tongue is large but the dentist and ent don't think it is. I have those scallops on the sides of my tongue.
And do you think if I have my front six teeth made longer it could keep the spit from spraying people?
And what do you think I could take that would dry up my saliva? I also think my eyes are watery too. Do you think this could also be connected to my thyroid problem?
Thank you for answering. Like what kind of foreign body in the oral cavity. I swear this all started after I had some dental work about 15 years ago.

Hello,
Spitting during talking could be due to excess production of saliva or poor muscular control. Talking softer often helps with spitting too much. Salivary secretion can be reduced by certain types of medication, like anti-histaminic drugs. A foreign body in the oral cavity or a side effect of some medications can cause excess production of saliva .A muscle tone might be less than adequate. It is best to consult a doctor if the symptoms are severe or persistent. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
