Saliva is the natural protector of your mouth
Without the right quality of saliva,

your mouth would feel dry, |
|
you would be likely to have bad breath |

you would also be more prone to decay. |
Saliva has many functions:
Apart from lubricating your mouth, it helps to prevent tooth decay.
Decay is caused by acids produced by bacteria (plaque) that act on the sugars you eat. Saliva help to wash away sugars. More importantly, healthy saliva can counteract the acids produced by bacteria thereby reducing the possibility of tooth decay.
At Smile Makers, we can check the quantity and quality of your saliva by conducting a simple, painless saliva test. In this test we will check whether you have sufficient amounts of saliva and whether your saliva can sufficiently counteract the acids produced by plaque bacteria.
Based on the results of this test, you will be advised on the steps you can take to protect yourself from tooth decay.
A Saliva Test can alert you to precautions you can take to prevent tooth decay.
