Real-Time Saliva Screening
At Luxe Dental Arts, we take a deeper look at your oral health.
Using phase-contrast microscopy, we examine a live sample of your saliva right in the office. This non-invasive method allows us to observe the activity and balance of your oral bacteria in real time, providing insights that traditional dental exams may overlook.
The Importance of Saliva
Saliva does more than keep your mouth moist—it contains a living ecosystem of bacteria, yeast, and other microbes that form your oral microbiome. When balanced, these microorganisms support immunity, digestion, and overall health.
Your mouth reflects the state of your overall internal health.
However, when this balance is disrupted, harmful bacteria can dominate, leading to:
- Gum inflammation and periodontal disease
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Chronic bad breath
- Higher risk of systemic illnesses associated with oral infections
Insights from the Microscope
By examining a single drop of saliva under a phase-contrast microscope, we can observe:
- Harmful bacteria associated with gum disease
- Fungal imbalances, such as candida
- White blood cells signaling inflammation or infection
- Microbial activity, revealing how your immune system is responding
This real-time perspective allows us to identify issues and understand their root causes, enabling more personalized and effective treatment.
The Importance of Microscopy
Unlike traditional tests that detect problems only after damage occurs, salivary microscopy provides a real-time view of your oral health—before symptoms arise. This approach allows us to:
- Detect disease early—often before pain or visible signs appear
- Visualize your own microbes live on screen for greater understanding
- Develop personalized treatment plans using natural antimicrobial therapies
- Monitor healing and progress through follow-up evaluations
