To improve the understanding of oral health in El Paso, the City of El Paso Health Department will work with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso to determine factors that contribute to poor oral health, and lead to cavities and periodontitis. The team will collect saliva from children and young adults to study oral infections, markers of inflammation, and other contributors to oral illnesses in Mexican-American individuals.
