Most people never think twice about saliva, but it does a lot more than you might expect.
Saliva is your mouth's first line of defense. It neutralizes acids, washes away bacteria, and helps protect your enamel every single day.
When saliva flow changes, whether you notice foamy buildup, unusual thickness, or a constant dry feeling, it can be a signal that something in your body or dental health needs attention. Patients in Eugene, OR often mention these changes only as an afterthought, but they're worth bringing up right away.
A comprehensive dental visit includes a full soft tissue and oral health assessment, including a look at saliva quality as part of restorative dentistry care.
