At our office, we use clinical laboratory services from OralDNA Labs^® to ensure we are giving our patients the best oral health information possible. OralDNA Labs^® is a specialty diagnostics company designed to provide reliable, definitive, and cost-effective clinical tests that guide health professionals in detecting and prognosing disease at an earlier, more treatable stage.

OralDNA® Labs offers testing for the profile of oral bacteria that cause periodontal disease. These bacteria, especially at high levels, and in combination with an individual’s genetic inflammatory response, result in bad breath, painful bleeding gums, loss of bone, and eventually tooth loss. But the consequences of these same bacteria, present for years and decades, add significantly to the risk of a wide range of life-threatening diseases beyond the mouth. Below are some of those diseases and the measurable risk of those diseases becoming serious if these oral pathogens are not treated.

Cardiovascular Disease

Metabolic Health and Diabetes

Health During Pregnancy

Development of Cancer and Risk of Progression

Joint and Musculoskeletal Health

Dementia and Brain Health
