Saliva Testing In Boca Raton
There is a growing interest in developing quick, chair-side tests that utilize saliva or other oral fluids for disease detection. This method of sampling oral fluids instead of blood or urine is attractive because it can detect a variety of biomarkers, such as proteins, electrolytes, hormones, antibodies, and DNA/RNA.
Now, a straightforward oral DNA test can pinpoint the specific type and quantity of disease-causing bacteria in your mouth. If left untreated, these bacteria can result in periodontal disease, tooth loss, and raise your risk of developing other systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among others.
There are several benefits to utilizing oral fluid for disease diagnostics, such as:
Access made easy,
Noninvasive collection of samples,
Patients are increasingly accepting it,
Quick outcomes,
Decreased chances of spreading infectious diseases
This new test is for people with gingivitis or periodontal disease symptoms.
Please be aware of the following symptoms: bleeding gums, bad breath, red or inflamed gums, and loss of bone around your teeth. It is recommended to undergo this test before major dental procedures or surgeries such as heart surgery or joint replacements. To perform the gentle oral rinse procedure, swish a small amount of sterile saline in your mouth for about 30 seconds. The sample will be sent to OralDNA Labs (www.OralDNA.com) for processing.
Advanced treatment planning is available.
The lab report we have received will help us identify the specific bacteria causing your gum infection, allowing us to develop a more effective treatment plan. Thanks to this advanced technology, My Dentist For Life can now target the root cause of the infection rather than just treating the symptoms. Our goal is to reduce your overall risk of bacterial-related diseases progressing. By treating periodontal disease early and with precise methods, we can prevent permanent damage.
Enhanced care
We offer a bacterial DNA test and a genetic susceptibility test to determine if your genetic makeup increases your risk for gum tissue infections. This test will help us optimize our therapy and care program. It is recommended to have a Disease Susceptibility Gene Test conducted as prevention is better than cure. This test can assess the condition of your respiratory, cardio-cerebral vascular, digestive, urinary/blood/endocrine systems, as well as male and female related diseases. If you or a loved one needs either of these tests, please call for more information. Our goal is to provide you with the most advanced oral-systemic healthcare available.
