Accurate Oral DNA Saliva Testing
At Smile Heart Dental Hygiene, we want to ensure that our patients receive the best in oral health information with the help of oral DNA saliva testing. That is why we chose to become one of the first dental hygiene offices to provide clinical laboratory services from OralDNA Labs®.
Who are OralDNA Labs®?
OralDNA Labs® is a specialty diagnostics company designed to provide reliable, definitive, and cost-effective clinical tests that guide oral health professionals in detecting and prognosing disease at an earlier, more treatable stage.
Why Test with OralDNA®?
Understanding the link between oral health and systemic health can provide dental professionals and their patients with the knowledge and opportunities for reducing dental problems, such as:
- Finding hidden oral pathogens that threaten oral and systemic health. Common pathogens directly cause gum disease and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and birth complications.
- Learning if you were born with gene markers associated with increased inflammation, a critical factor in the severity of periodontitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- Helping your provider select the most effective treatment if you already have periodontal disease, and then measure treatment results with a follow-up test.
- Learning if you have HPV high-risk types associated with oral cancer.
