Very Bothersome "mucusy" Saliva On Upper Gum Posted: 11-03-04 04:50am
About 10 years ago I had a misalignment of
my top and bottom teeth. The top where
closer together than the bottom and they
said I needed braces because it was
affecting my bite. Well I had this all my
life so at about age 19 I started to get
this thick mucus-like saliva above my top
teeth on my gum. It was very annoying and
it would accumulate on my teeth and on the
edge of the inside of my mouth. So I had
the braces (not because of the saliva) and
it went away. It was so awesome, I had
been putting up with this for a year and a
half and no one had ever heard of it or
what to do. Well about 3 weeks ago I
noticed I started getting it again, and it
has not stopped. I nipped it the bud and
went to a ear nose and throat doctor,
since a dentist couldn't help me out and
your mouth and sinuses relate so much. He
told me that he had never seen this before
and to try sea salt and water for a mouth
rinse. It helped , for about 10 minutes.
So I tried hydrogen peroxide and biotene
and I had the same thing. I keep my mouth
very clean. My mouth secretes this mucus,
so you can wipe and clean and I get the
same thing, it comes back as soon as I
wipe it off. The feeling drives me crazy!
It's like having this thick goo that just
secretes and secretes and secretes and
secretes. So I called the doctor and I
suggested and he gave me a prescription
for something that is supposed to dry out
your mouth and he prescribed robinul, and
it barely works anymore.The only relief I
get is when I take something that gives me
buzz, but having to do that everyday is
just going to make me build up a tolerance
( which I do very quickly when it comes to
medicine) and it's not good to stay
constantly buzzed. So there is nothing I
can do but wipe it off with my tounge or
suck it through or wipe it off. It's just
constant constant costant, I can't even
try to take my mind off of it, except when
i'm buzzed. It's caused me so much
anxiety when I think about how I can do
almost nothing, I get so anxious I start
crying and almost hyperventilating. Have
any of you all ever heard of this
before?!

hello there! I noticed a message that you
posted several years ago.
I have been suffering from exactly the
same thing. I've been to 3 dentists who
think I'm crazy. Did you ever find
anything that worked? It is so
discouraging!
