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.
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.
Fun to watch on a slide, but not a healthy situation. If you don't test, you have no idea they are there.
If there are many white blood cells present, that tells us there is an immune response happening.
Too many red blood cells is bleeding, which is a sign of inflammation.
Or whatever else was left in there.
Measure disease risk based on oral biofilm examinations with the microscope.
Once patients see what's living in their mouths, they can't wait to get it healthy.
No time waiting on labs, the microscope has immediate results. Fill your schedule with motivated patients.
