"Salivary testing by OralDNA has changed the way I practice dentistry. For the first time I can use laboratory testing not just clinical observation to help diagnose periodontal disease. This test enables me to know which type of bacteria among dozens of possibilities is causing the disease. That in turn allows me to design a treatment plan customized to each patient and produces a much higher rate of successful outcomes. In effect, this test is helping me save more patients from the tooth loss and other dental damage that can occur with periodontal disease."
