What should I expect from oral DNA testing?

Oral DNA testing is a painless and quick procedure. Your dentist will collect your saliva sample using a rinse or swab. After this painless sample collection, we’ll send your samples to a lab for analysis.

The lab uses special analytic techniques to identify genetic markers in your mouth that may predispose you to periodontal disease, cardiovascular conditions, etc. Our doctor will help interpret the results for your oral and overall health. Based on your results, we’ll devise a personalized treatment plan.

Oral DNA saliva testing can save you money on future dental treatments. Early detection of health issues allows for conservative and affordable treatment. Otherwise, waiting for issues to progress and become major headaches leads to unnecessary pain and costly restorative procedures.

What are the benefits of mouth DNA testing?

Oral DNA testing allows us to identify hidden pathogens that threaten your oral and systemic health. This simple yet powerful test helps you discover whether you were born with gene markers that increase inflammation, a critical ingredient for gum disease, heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. This test also helps us determine if you are at risk of HPV, which increases the risk of mouth cancer.

Ultimately, oral DNA testing provides vital information to help devise interventions to prevent the onset or progression of oral and systemic pathologies. It also allows us establish the status of your mouth-body connection. By establishing how healthy this link is, we’ll highlight the importance of diligent dental care to maintain optimal oral and overall health.

Are you ready to get your oral DNA testing done?

Mouth DNA testing allows our doctors to see bacteria and other pathogens, just like an X-ray helps us see your bones and teeth. A deeper understanding of your oral health enables you to take proactive steps to guard your smile from periodontal disease and other conditions.
