Dr. Nora Vinh of Fountain Valley Dental Care Performs Salivary Diagnostics for Patients in Fountain Valley, CA

Saliva and other oral fluids play significant roles in supporting the health of soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity. The protective functions of saliva include maintaining a neutral oral pH, cleaning and remineralizing the dentition, promoting swallowing and digestion, and protecting oral tissue against desiccation and invasion by microorganisms. Dr. Nora Vinh of Fountain Valley Dental Care is keenly aware that adequate saliva is essential for maintaining oral health and wants to provide patients with the highest level of service and quality.

Reduced salivary secretion (dry mouth) can contribute to multiple oral problems, such as dental caries, mucositis, fungal infections, and periodontal diseases. When the situation presents itself, Dr. Nora Vinh will perform a salivary diagnostic test. The test itself is non-invasive and requires a small amount of saliva. Dr. Vinh then sends the sample to Oragenix and receives rapid and highly accurate results. When the sample returns, Dr. Vinh will analyze it to make sure the patients bacterial populations are the good variety. Salivary Diagnostic tests have been known to help screen for signs of oral cancer.
