Tongue tie does not cause excessive salivation. Genetic disorders such as Downs syndrome and cerebral palsy may cause excessive drooling.

Isolated salivation in infants and toddlers is normal and is unlikely to be a sign of either disease or complications. It may be associated with teething. salivation in infants and young children may be exacerbated by upper respiratory infections and nasal allergies.
tongue tie may be a cause of salivation...
