If you answered yes to any of these questions, the health of your saliva could be compromised. If not enough saliva is produced, your teeth may not be protected from acid attack. This can lead to:
1] Accelerated decay
2] Rapid breakdown of existing fillings
3] Tooth wear
4] Tooth sensitivity
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please inform the team at your next dental visit, or contact Designer Dental Studio to schedule an appointment.
