Oral Bacteria profile testing and DNA

With a simple collection of our patient’s saliva at Dentistry for life we have the ability to:

• • Find hidden oral pathogens that threaten your oral and systemic health. Common pathogens directly cause gum disease and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and birth complications
• • Learn if you were born with gene markers associated with increased inflammation, a critical factor in the severity of periodontal, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
• • Help select the most effective treatment if you already have periodontal disease, and then measure results with a follow-up test
• • Learn if you have HPV high-risk types associated with oral cancer
