Question

Is it true that frequent drooling in children is always caused by calcium deficiency?

Answer

It is normal for babies to start producing saliva around three to four months old, but at this stage, their swallowing function is not fully developed, so saliva may leak out along the chin. During the critical period of development of swallowing and chewing abilities, additional training can be provided to exercise their swallowing skills. However, if a baby who did not used to drool suddenly starts to produce a large amount of saliva, it should be noted whether there is an oral disease. This is the suggestion for the question “Is frequent drooling in children always caused by calcium deficiency?” I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
