Saliva Screening in Real Time

At Luxe Dental Arts, we examine your oral health in detail.

With phase-contrast microscopy, we observe a live sample of your saliva right in the office. This non-invasive method lets us monitor oral bacteria in real time, providing insights that standard dental exams may miss.

Why Saliva Matters

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

Your oral health reflects your overall internal health.

When this balance is disrupted, harmful bacteria can take over, causing:

  • Gum inflammation and periodontal disease
  • Tooth decay and cavities
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Increased risk of systemic illnesses linked to oral infections

Microscopic Insights into Oral Health

By analyzing a single drop of saliva under a phase-contrast microscope, we can observe:
  • Harmful bacteria linked to gum disease
  • Fungal imbalances, including candida
  • White blood cells indicating inflammation or infection
  • Microbial activity, showing how your immune system is responding
This real-time view helps us pinpoint issues and understand their root causes, allowing for more personalized and effective treatment.

Why Microscopy Matters

Unlike traditional tests that identify issues only after damage has occurred, salivary microscopy offers a real-time view of your oral health—before symptoms appear. This method enables us to:
  • Detect disease early—often before pain or visible symptoms arise
  • See your own microbes live on screen for better understanding
  • Create personalized treatment plans using natural antimicrobial therapies
  • Track healing and progress through 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. Salivary microscopy lets you see exactly what’s happening in your mouth—live on screen.

This advanced tool shows how your habits, diet, and overall health affect your oral microbiome. With these insights, we can design a natural, personalized plan that supports both your oral and overall health.

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