What can you see in a slide?
Bacteria
A healthy biofilm will absolutely have bacteria, just not pathogenic bacteria (disease causing bacteria). With the microscope, you can quickly identify if pathogenic bacteria are present and take action to get rid of them. Identifying this high risk situation early is a key component of oral and overall health.
Fungus
The microscope can see an overgrowth of yeast before clinical signs are evident. Again, once we know it's there, quick action can be taken to get the biofilm back to a healthy state.
Parasites
Fun to watch on a slide, but not a healthy situation. If you don't test, you have no idea they are there.
White Blood Cells
If there are many white blood cells present, that tells us there is an immune response happening.
Red Blood Cells
Too many red blood cells is bleeding, which is a sign of inflammation.
