I'm 18 years old girl. I wake up every morning with saliva in my mouth, it smells bad and I can't swallow it. I have to spit it out first before talking. I have this since my childhood.

Maintain your oral hygiene. Brush twice daily, use interdental cleaning aids if required. U can also use some medicated mouthrinses as per recommendation. Visit your dentist for clinical evaluation. U may need an oral prophylaxis session. For personal consultation please do use doctor code ascb34. Thanks.

Some people sleep with mouth open others with mouth closed, just as some people blink more often, breathe faster, or have a more rapid heartbeat. This may just be what's normal for you.
