April 4th, 2008

You might enjoy seeing your healthy, pink gums and white, clean teeth
but little did you know that more than having twice a day routine oral
hygiene regimen, there is a much overlooked component. You may be
surprised to learn that healthy gums require saliva
to remain healthy in between brushings. Saliva as the watery substance
in the mouth that seems to collect as the scent of delicious treats
reaches the nostrils, but it is much more powerful than just being
useful for proper digestion. As a matter of fact, the spittle in the
mouth may be mostly water, but in addition to that it also contains
electrolytes and most importantly enzymes that are known to attack,
fight, and destroy bacteria.
