Saliva protects your teeth by neutralizing the acids that are produced after eating and drinking thereby providing a barrier against sensitivity, erosion and decay
Poor production of saliva can limit the longevity of your teeth and previous dental treatment
Frequent acid attacks can lead to accelerated tooth decay, rapid breakdown of existing fillings, tooth wear and tooth sensitivity
Camp Hill Dental can help identify any saliva concerns you may have, to help improve the health of your mouth and ensure oral stability
Is your saliva flow compromised? Take the test
Do you drink less than the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Do you drink caffeinated tea or coffee? Do you smoke? Do you take any medications that have the potential to cause a dry mouth? Do you ever experience a dry mouth (also known as xerostomia)?
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, the health of your saliva could be compromised.
