What is the purpose of saliva? Drool, saliva, spit, or whatever you call it is much more important than you probably realize. That clear liquid is made up of 98% water and is partly responsible for keeping the oral microbiome balanced. Saliva keeps the mouth moist, helps break down food, fights germs, protects the dental enamel, and prevents gum disease. Too little saliva can lead to serious oral health issues. Be sure to stay hydrated and talk to our dental team if you experience dry mouth.
