Excessive Drooling??

Hey Ladies!

 I have a 27 mon old who is a nonstop drooler! I mean his cousin was picking on him this weekend calling him, "Hooch"... Everyone keeps telling me he's teething but REALLY? Then I guess we've been teething since 3 mon old. I feel like it's getting ridiculous. He no longer takes a pacifier and can suck through a straw, blow kisses, make fish faces, and has even learned to swallow on command because I remind him so frequently. SO... anyone else with something similar? Not sure if the next step is pediatrician, dentist, or ENT but he's starting to get picked on at our church nursery like "eww why does he slobber", etc so thinking it's time to do something!

    Are his back molars making their way through?

    DS is still drooling. He hasn't cut those last molars yet.

    DD just turned 3 and her last molars are FINALLY coming through.  It's been so long, I'd forgotten she was still missing teeth.  But, yeah, she's drooling a little bit again, just like with all her other teeth.

    We just got DS evaluated with an Occupational therapist for this exact reason. 

    Even though he has a great vocabulary and can say 2-3 word sentences he has poor oral muscle development (he only drinks from a straw). We are starting him on speech therapy.

    My DD still drools a little, especially when she's talking or really concentrating on something.  For her it has to do with the fact that she has gigantic tonsils.  Luckily we haven't dealt with too many infections yet, but I think it's only a matter of time before she'll need to have them removed.
