Saliva plays many important roles in your overall health

Saliva plays many important roles in your overall health.

For example:

it makes food easier to swallow and contains enzymes to jump-start digestion.

When it comes to your teeth, saliva washes away lingering food particles,

Contains calcium and phosphate, which can neutralize the acids in plaque that cause damage and decay.

Saliva plays a major role in your digestion, how healthy your teeth stay and if you develop oral health diseases. A problem like dry mouth can significantly raise your risk for tooth decay, and it can cause bad breath.
