Real-Time Saliva Screening
At Luxe Dental Arts, we look beyond the surface to gain a deeper understanding of your oral health.
With phase-contrast microscopy, we examine a live saliva sample right in our office. This non-invasive method allows us to observe the activity and balance of your oral bacteria in real time, revealing insights that traditional dental exams often overlook.
The Importance of Saliva in Oral Health
Saliva does more than keep your mouth hydrated—it houses a dynamic 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 internal health.
However, when this balance is disrupted, harmful bacteria can dominate, potentially leading to:
- Gum inflammation and periodontal disease
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Chronic bad breath
- Elevated risk of systemic health issues related to oral infections
Microscopic Insights into Your Oral Health
With just a single drop of saliva under a phase-contrast microscope, we can observe in real time:
- Harmful bacteria associated with gum disease
- Fungal imbalances, including Candida
- White blood cells signaling inflammation or infection
- Microbial activity, revealing how your immune system is responding
This real-time insight allows us to identify issues and uncover their underlying causes, enabling more personalized and effective treatment.
The Importance of Saliva Microscopy
Unlike conventional tests that detect problems only after damage has occurred, salivary microscopy provides a real-time view of your oral health—often before symptoms even appear. This proactive approach allows us to:
- Identify disease early, often before pain or visible signs emerge
- Visualize your oral microbes live, helping you better understand your oral health
- Develop personalized treatment plans using natural, antimicrobial therapies
- Monitor healing and progress through follow-up evaluations
A Closer Look at Your Oral Health
At Luxe Dental Arts, we believe in keeping you informed and empowered about your oral health. With salivary microscopy, you can see your mouth’s microbial activity live on screen, gaining a clear understanding of how your habits, diet, and overall health impact your oral microbiome.
Armed with these insights, we collaborate with you to create a natural, personalized plan that supports both your mouth and your whole-body wellness.
This isn’t just a dental visit—it’s a step toward lasting health.
