Saliva plays a crucial role in the prevention and progression of tooth decay.

Saliva neutralizes acids produced by bacteria that cause tooth decay. It prevents loss of minerals and promotes enamel strength. Salivary immunoglobulins help control harmful microbes. Saliva washes away food particles and sugars that bacteria use to produce acid. It prevents plaque buildup and tooth surface dryness

When saliva flow is reduced (a condition called xerostomia OR Dry Mouth), the risk of dental caries increases which can be due to Medications , Radiation therapy , Dehydration , Mouth breathing.

Improve Saliva Flow & Prevent Caries by staying hydrated (drink plenty of water), Chewing sugar-free gum (stimulates saliva production), maintain good oral hygiene (brush twice daily, floss, use fluoride toothpaste), avoid dry mouth-causing medications, if possible.
