Dribbling

The Dribbling - Involuntary leakage of urine from the bladder (see incontinence, urinary) or of saliva from the mouth (drooling). Dribbling of saliva is normal in infants. In adults, it may be due to poorly fitting dentures; alternatively, it may be the result of facial paralysis, dementia, or another disorder of the nervous system, most commonly Parkinson’s disease. Dribbling of saliva may also be caused by an obstruction in the mouth that interferes with swallowing.
