GC strongly believes that dentists should use saliva routinely as a diagnostic tool. It is well known that saliva protects the teeth from demineralisation. When a patient presents with sensitivity, caries or eroded lesions a solution can be found to correct or control these problems when it has been determined why the saliva is not adequately protecting the teeth. Once the problem has been recognised you are able to implement an appropriate prevention and remineralisation programme to rebalance the oral environment thus helping to prevent further effects from demineralisation of the tooth structure. GC's Saliva Testing Kit is designed to test the saliva at both resting and stimulated states, as the characteristics of these forms of saliva are different. The GC Saliva Testing Kit has proved to be an extremely and effective powerful tool in assisting with early detection of the condition of the oral environment.
