still drooling at 2

ladylisalt

DS is 26 and it looks like all of his first teeth are in. We still see him drooling and he chomps on his binky at times. What could this excess drool be related to? Is it possible they look like they are all in but they're still pushing all the way through?

Ds still drools when he's playing. I remind him to swallow. I plan to bring it up at his 3 yr checkup.

My DD drooled a lot even after she turned 2.  She has some sensory issues issues and chewed on her hands some.  I had to remind her to keep her mouth shut and swallow.  We also encouraged strong flavored snacks when she was doing that to help with excess drool.

You're sure all the 2 year molars are in too?  My kid is still drooling but he's still working on those molars.

I guess I am not 100% sure and kind of just thought they might be but what do I know? lol

Now I'm curious, what do the strong flavored snacks do for drool? I havent heard that one before.

The molars take FOREVER to come in.  Also, last time we were at the dentist, he said that he canines still weren't all the way in, even though it looked like they were from my perspective...

I kind of wondered if their all the way in or if there is more way to go.
