It would seem like it,but their swallowing mechanism is just not as advanced as older children.Getting the saliva to the back of the tongue and then swallowing comes a little later on.They do however produce more saliva when they are teething.

No, it's just that adults keep their mouths closed more, and swallow more of there saliva.
