Everyone must undergo a certain regime in order to regulate the amount of glucose in their saliva. Teethbrushing, flossing, and rinsing throughout the day serve this purpose. However, many of the people who participate in this regimented behaviour don't know that glucose naturally occurs in saliva. So even if a person cleanses their mouth of sugary residues from eating, their saliva glands constantly restore a basic level.

It is this basic level that of interest to the Saliva Glucose Test. Throughout the day a person who is interested in their dental health will use the tester to check their saliva glucose levels. This will help the user deterime certain things: which foods tend to increase their saliva glucose the most; whether their saliva glucose level rises immediately after consuming glucose when it dissolves in the mouth or afterwards from absorbtion by the blood.

If the user can regulate their saliva glucose throughout the day, they can conclude that the size of bacterial cultures in their mouths are also being regulated. Teethbrushes will still be necessary to mechanically remove the cultures and their biproducts from the teeth.
