| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | *Painful conditions in the mouth lead to increase in salivary secretion and possibly also to failure to swallow the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] produced,
| |
| − | **e.g. in [[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Foot and Mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]] in cattle there is an acute painful stomatitis and this is accompanied by the hypersalivation and partial anorexia.
