What If Our Mouths Didn’t Have Any Saliva?

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

No spit...lots of problems!

Let's talk!

Have you ever thought about what our mouths would be without saliva!? What does your saliva even do? Well let me tell you – it's kinda WILD when you really think about it! Saliva helps you eat by making it easier to chew and swallow food. Saliva also helps to clean your mouth and protect your teeth by getting rid of food particles and neutralizing harmful bacteria. Saliva also helps to keep your teeth healthy by neutralizing acid that can cause tooth decay.
