Live Saliva Screening

At Luxe Dental Arts, we go beyond the surface to truly understand your oral health.

Using phase-contrast microscopy, we can observe a live sample of your saliva under the microscope—right in the office. This non-invasive technique lets us see the activity and balance of your oral bacteria in real time, offering insights that standard dental exams often miss.

Why Saliva Matters

Saliva does more than keep your mouth moist—it holds a living ecosystem of bacteria, yeast, and other microbes that make up your oral microbiome. When in balance, these microorganisms support immunity, digestion, and overall health.

The mouth is a reflection of your internal terrain.

But when that balance is disrupted, harmful bacteria can take over, leading to:

  • Gum inflammation and disease
  • Cavities and tooth decay
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Increased risk of systemic illness linked to oral infections

What the Microscope Reveals

With just a drop of saliva under a phase-contrast microscope, we can observe:
  • Harmful bacteria linked to gum disease
  • Fungal imbalances like candida
  • White blood cells indicating inflammation or infection
  • Microbial movement, showing how your immune system is responding
This real-time view helps us not only detect issues but understand their root cause, allowing for more personalized and effective care.

Why Microscopy Matters

Unlike traditional tests that catch issues only after damage is done, salivary microscopy gives us a real-time view of your oral health—before symptoms appear. With this approach, we can:
  • Detect disease early—often before pain or visible signs
  • Show you your own microbes live on screen for better understanding
  • Create personalized treatment plans using natural, antimicrobial therapies
  • Track your healing and progress with follow-up evaluations

See What’s Really Happening in Your Mouth

At Luxe Dental Arts, we want you to feel informed and confident in your care. With salivary microscopy, you can actually see what’s going on in your mouth—live on screen.

It’s a powerful way to understand how your habits, diet, and overall health affect your oral microbiome. With that insight, we’ll work with you to create a natural, personalized plan that supports both your mouth and your body.

It’s more than a dental visit—it’s a step toward true wellness.
