Bacterial And DNA Testing

As you may be aware, the past 10 years have provided much insight into what has come to be called… “The Oral / Systemic Connection”.  There does appear to be a link to chronic inflammatory periodontal infections and systemic diseases such as:

The National Institute of Health (NIH) and other research facilities are aggressively pursuing this link as well. For more information regarding the Oral/Systemic Connection, visit the following links online:

As we continue to learn more about the severity of periodontal infections and how closely linked they are to your overall health, having detailed information about your genetic susceptibility (MyPerioID^®) and the bacteria that are present in our mouth (MyPerioPath^®) will be critical in determining your oral and overall general health.

Introducing MyPerioPath^®:

This test indentifies and measures certain bacteria in your mouth that cause gingivitis (early stage gum disease) and periodontal disease (mature gum disease).

Introducing MyPerioID^®:

This test determines if you are more likely to develop more serious gum tissue infections, such as inflammatory periodontal disease due to genetic predisposition.

Introducing OraRisk^® HPV:

This test determines if you are at increased risk for HPV-related oral and throat cancers.

These new, quick, and non-invasive tests deliver information that will enable your dental professional to better determine the appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs .  www.oraldna.com
