With the microscope, results are immediate. Patients view their biofilm samples LIVE! If it's unhealthy and patients see disease causing pathogens in their mouths, they can't wait to get rid of them. Don't guess what's living in there, test it. Biofilms can change, so it needs to be tested at EVERY dental hygiene visit.
The hygienist or dentist grabs a quick biofilm, aka plaque sample, and looks at it under the microscope. The microscope has the ability to see a "high risk" situation before clinical signs of disease are evident. High risk not just for dental disease, but systemic disease as well. This makes it the ultimate tool for prevention.
