There are three main types of saliva: serous saliva, mucous saliva, and mixed saliva. Serous saliva is watery and contains enzymes that help break down food. Mucous saliva is thicker and helps lubricate food for easier swallowing. Mixed saliva is a combination of both serous and mucous saliva, which aids in digestion and protects the mouth.
