Well I wear my dentures all the time, except for at night while they are being cleaned. I have just the opposite problem. My dentures cause my mouth to dry out a lot, so I'm constantly drinking something. Just a suggestion, you may want to wear your dentures more often as not wearing them, can cause your skin or face to sag faster. This is what my dentist told me, so I keep them in as much as possible.

I haven't even noticed LOL

I don't wear mine at home either. It could be that your gums are still healing or that your mouth isn't quite used to the dentures just yet and you notice more saliva when they are out.

If it continues to be bothersome, you might ask your dentist and see if there is any cause for it :) Good luck!
