I appreciate that you have already noticed that poor oral hygiene caused problems like hypersalivation.There are other causes for hypersalivation that includes injury or inflammation of salivary glands,hot or spicy food diet, rabies, pellagra, side effects of drugs etc.I also appreciate that now you follow brushing regularly. But brushing in an improper method can harm your teeth and gums if done every 2 hours. I suggest you:1.To brush twice daily(morning and night)2.Avoid sticky foods3.Brush in a proper brushing technique 4.Visit a dental clinic and know about the brushing technique for you.5.Use Dental floss and mouthwash6.Poor oral hygiene also causes gum disease. So you need to get the professional scaling and treatment.7.Consult a Dentist and undergo an oral check up and get the right diagnosis and treatment.Dont worry , Get treatment. Avoid distractions, get refreshed and do exams well. Hope this information helpThank you
