Did You Know Your Saliva Helps Protect Your Teeth?
Saliva does more than keep your mouth moist! It plays an important role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
Saliva helps to:
✔️ Wash away food particles
✔️ Neutralize acids that can damage tooth enamel
✔️ Provide minerals that help strengthen teeth
✔️ Support a healthy balance of bacteria in your mouth
When your mouth is consistently dry, your risk of cavities and other oral health problems can increase.
Dental Tip: Stay hydrated throughout the day and talk with your dental team if you frequently experience dry mouth.
Healthy saliva = a healthier smile!
