What Causes Brown And Smelly Saliva In Mornings?

Hello I am 32 years old and for a time now I've been waking up with brown very smelly saliva. Tgough after I spit it up and brush my teeth it doesn't return until the next morning, but I am worried because it is almost every morning I wake up? Some information on this question would be welcomed?

Hi! Thank you for posting in HCM.

The brown,smelly saliva you are mentioning can be pus from a infected tooth abscess. Use warm water gargle thrice daily. See your dentist for a deep scaling and to rule out any infection in your teeth.

Regards.
