How does saliva testing help to personalize holistic dental care?

Saliva testing is a powerful tool in personalizing holistic dental care, particularly when using advanced systems like the SillHa® Oral Wellness System. Saliva testing, through systems like SillHa, enhances the accuracy of dental care while empowering patients to take firmer control of their oral health with a more holistic approach.

Dental professionals can gather valuable insights into oral and systemic health beyond visual examination by analyzing a patient's saliva. Saliva contains important markers for bacteria levels, pH balance, enzymes, and other biological factors affecting oral and overall wellness.

What Is the SillHa Oral Wellness System?

The SillHa Oral Wellness System leverages saliva testing to detect early signs of potential issues like gum disease, tooth decay, or systemic inflammation. These results allow healthcare professionals to tailor treatment plans for each patient. This approach enables a more precise focus on each patient’s unique oral environment rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.

With the data provided by saliva testing, a dental practice can offer personalized recommendations for daily care, diet, and lifestyle changes that specifically address the individual's oral health needs. Furthermore, by identifying specific bacteria or imbalances, they can create custom products or treatments to restore balance and optimize long-term dental health.
