Abstract: Soft tissue (e.g., gingival) sensors for sensing one or more analytes from the soft tissue while being stably held in position against hard tissue, such as the teeth. Described herein are methods and apparatuses for stably holding a soft tissue sensor relative to the teeth so that the soft tissue sensor can sample, including continuously sample. In particular, described herein are methods and apparatuses for holding a sensor having one or more microneedles in position for sampling from the gingiva.
