I was wondering why I drool so much in my sleep. Lately, especially while I am dreaming, I have awakened in my bed with my pillow covered with my drool. I was wondering if this has something to do with me getting my tooth (31 molar) pulled last month. Somebody help me?!

I don't know about the tooth, but if the drooling started after you pulled it, perhaps there is a connection and you should talk to the dentist. Also, ypu need to consider the following:
do you feel you produce more saliva than normal during the day? If not, then the drooling in your sleep is probably not excessive either, but it gets out of your mouth because you sleep with your mouth open. It happens to me too when I am too tired and sleep very heavy. Is it possible that the absence of your tooth has led you to keep your mouth open during your sleep? I am sorry I can't help any more, but if you have a lighter sleep I am sure you will control it better, so it means you sleep deep and this is good for relaxing!

If you are missing a tooth, the spit is going somewhere to get out. Plus you could close your mouth too.
