Answers:
My son has something very similar to this!. The dentist says it is not unusual or anything, but it could cause a buildup of plaque and later gum disease!. He also said it might be because my son does not drink enough water or dehydration!. It could also be a problem called Halitosis!. Check out the link below!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you are on medications, maybe that is the cause!. A lot of meds have a dry mouth side effect!. Check any meds you are on to see if it has that side effect!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
All you have to do is to hydrate more and that will dilute the saliva and thus making it less thick!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sleeping allows mucus to accumulate so when you finally wake there's a build up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
