Drooling is the consequence of not swallowing the saliva often enough and leaving the mouth open.

If you have that problem you can consciously swallow the saliva and keep your mouth mouth closed.

Doc told my husband to chew gum. It sounds counterintuitive but it works like a charm. Yes, it produces more saliva, but since you close your mouth to chew the gum, you naturally swallow more often.

My husband also chews gum! Works great!
