[|Human|] Since about 6 months ago I started to have sticky saliva from time to time. That was the time when I started to use denture and the fact that my dentist recommended  a kind of glue to hold the upper denture in place. Also the soft roof (upper part) of my mouth seems to taste slightly salty. Can you tell me why?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The sticky saliva or salty taste could be because of the denture adhesive that you are using to keep the denture fit in the oral cavity. Usually the salivary flow will increase when you wear denture. In your case the salivary flow may be normal but because of the denture adhesive you might be feeling like this. Consult an oral physician and prosthodontist and get it ruled out. If there is problem in the denture get it relined or rebased so that there is no need to use denture adhesive. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
