MASTERING SALIVA PH:
Key Insights for Dental Professionals
Presented by Anne Nugent Guignon RDH, MPH, CSP
Course Description:
Tradition has led us to believe if the mouth is moist, then all is well. However, it is essential to consider data points. Although saliva is composed of 99% water, the remaining 1% plays a crucial role in determining whether saliva can be beneficial or detrimental. Simple chairside testing can uncover additional risk factors for caries, erosion, and dentinal hypersensitivity. Discover how to measure dangerous salivary pH values, insufficient buffering capacity, and remedies. Learn strategies to enhance your knowledge in saliva, thereby fostering greater patient engagement and improving treatment acceptance.
