Real-Time Oral Health 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.
The Benefits of Salivary Microscopy
Unlike conventional tests that detect issues after damage has occurred, live saliva screening helps us:
- Catch disease before symptoms or visible signs appear
- Show you your microbes live on-screen for better understanding
- Create personalized, natural treatment plans using antimicrobial therapies
- Track healing and improvements with follow-up evaluations
