At Green Dentistry in San Francisco, our commitment to your well-being extends far beyond your oral health. We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge that can positively impact their overall health. That’s why we’re excited to offer Oral Microbiome Testing, a groundbreaking tool that provides invaluable insights into your health.
Understanding Oral Microbiome Testing
Your mouth is more than just a gateway to your body—it’s a window into your overall health. Oral Microbiome Testing allows us to assess certain risk factors associated with oral diseases like gum disease and tooth decay. Moreover, it can uncover potential risks for other significant health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, oral cancer, and inflammation.
Through our partnership with OralDNA® Labs, a leading provider of salivary testing for oral and dental health, we can now conduct Oral Microbiome Testing with ease during your regular hygiene exam. It’s a simple process—just a 30-second swish and gargle to collect a sample of your saliva.
The Power of Saliva: A Wealth of Information
A single sample of your saliva holds a wealth of information about your health. By analyzing the oral microbiome, we can identify and assess harmful bacteria present in your mouth. This knowledge enables us to detect oral health issues early, customize treatment plans to your specific needs, and establish optimal follow-up intervals to maintain your oral health.
Gum disease, for example, can be challenging to detect in its early stages. However, Oral Microbiome Testing makes it easier to diagnose gum disease early on, allowing us to intervene before it progresses and causes significant damage.
But Oral Microbiome Testing doesn’t stop at oral health—it also provides insights into your overall health. By detecting genetic markers associated with inflammation in your saliva, we can assess your risk level for various health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and more. This invaluable information allows us to tailor treatment plans to your individual needs and address potential health concerns proactively.
