Did you know that saliva helps keep your teeth healthy?

March 8, 2023

Saliva is not just a watery substance in our mouths. Instead, it contains enzymes and minerals that help to protect our teeth and gums from decay and infection. Here are some of how saliva benefits our dental health:

Neutralizes acids: The bacteria in our mouth produce acid, which can erode our tooth enamel and cause cavities. Saliva contains bicarbonate, which helps to neutralize these acids and prevent tooth decay.

Washes away debris: Saliva helps wash away food particles and debris from our teeth and gums to reduce plaque and bacteria buildup.

Repairs tooth enamel: Saliva contains calcium and phosphate ions, which can help repair tooth enamel damaged by acid erosion.

Fights bacteria: Saliva contains antimicrobial agents that can help kill harmful bacteria in our mouth, reducing the risk of gum disease and bad breath.
