Saliva Testing in Real Time
At Luxe Dental Arts, we closely examine your oral health. With phase-contrast microscopy, we view a live saliva sample in real time. This non-invasive method allows us to see the activity and balance of your oral bacteria, uncovering details that traditional dental exams may overlook.
Why Saliva Matters
Saliva does more than maintain moisture in your mouth—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 well-being.
Your oral health mirrors the condition of your internal health.
When this balance is disturbed, harmful bacteria can take over, resulting in:
- Inflamed gums and periodontal disease
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Persistent bad breath
- Increased risk of systemic health issues linked to oral infections
Microscopic Insights
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 problems and understand their underlying causes, allowing for more personalized and effective treatment.
Why Microscopy Matters
Unlike conventional tests that identify issues only after damage has occurred, salivary microscopy offers a real-time look at your oral health—before symptoms appear. This method enables us to:
- Identify disease early—often before pain or visible symptoms emerge
- Observe 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
