For preventive dentistry, 'professional care' from a dentist and '
self-care' at home are both important like the 'two wheels of a ca
rt'. Combine both cares to protect your dental and oral health thr
oughout your life.
Studies have shown that higher bacteria count in t
he oral cavity increases ammonia in saliva, causin
g bad breath, etc.
Studies have shown that higher periodontal disease
-causing bacteria count and gingival inflammation
increase protein in saliva.
Studies have shown that gingival inflammation incr
eases leukocytes in saliva.
Studies have shown that gingival inflammation, ora
l damage and oral mucosal ulcer increase blood in
saliva.
