We brush and floss for clean teeth, but beneath that, a microscopic ecosystem is silently shaping our metabolism. Studies now suggest that imbalanced oral bacteria can trigger insulin resistance, heart disease, and even preterm births.
Your tongue coating may tell more about your pancreas than your plate does!

Such innovation would be a true game changer and help in reducing the costs of many tests by many folds.
So convenient and cost effective to have a saliva swab instead of constantly pricking yourself. Very informative.
If blood sample taken test for diabetes before and after breakfast it took longtime to check it if diabetes or not. If choose saliva instead of blood sample it is easier to check it for quick time
In future it will happen it is best way
Truly said, our mouth and especially the tongue serves as a microbiome housing a large number of various microbes. Exploring them and developing oral products based on related studies can definitely help in maintaining a good dental health as well as the overall well-being of human body.
This resonates so well — our mouth truly reflects what’s happening in the rest of the body. It’s amazing how early signs of major health issues often appear first in the oral cavity. A healthy mouth isn’t just about teeth; it’s a mirror of overall well-being.
Fascinating point. Oral health is clearly more than cavities and gum care. Saliva-based diagnostics and oral probiotics could soon become routine tools in early disease detection.
