Our mouths produce more saliva before vomiting to protect teeth from erosion due to strong stomach acid.
The claim that increased saliva production before vomiting protects teeth is plausible but lacks direct evidence in the sources reviewed. Saliva does have protective qualities but no specific evidence was found supporting this exact mechanism before vomiting. However, it's known that stomach acid can damage teeth, supported by reliable sources.
