The Importance of Saliva

Saliva serves a very important role in dental health:

  • Adds strength to tooth enamel
  • Delivers important minerals
  • Washes away food and plaque
  • Neutralizes acid and bacteria
  • Keeps breath fresh

Treatment for Dry Mouth

Dr. Parnaik often recommends MI Paste for patients suffering with dry mouth. MI Paste can help to stimulate saliva production and sooth sensitive teeth. MI Paste also releases minerals to the teeth including calcium and phosphate to strengthen teeth.

There may also be other things Dr. Parnaik recommends increase saliva production such as drinking more water, chewing sugarless gum, and avoiding certain food and drinks. Dr. Parnaik can advise on special rinses, fluoride gels and other products or prescriptions to increase saliva.
