Tips for improving saliva production:
Rub the cheeks. Make circular movements with your thumb and index finger.

Imagine a candy, lemon or your favorite food inside your mouth.
Repeat these steps until you have enough saliva in your mouth. You can then proceed with the salivary sampling according to the instructions in your kit.
