Saliva Testing
At Holistic Dentists, we prioritize your overall wellness by integrating cutting-edge, non-invasive technologies that empower you to take control of your health. One of the most innovative tools we use in our practice is saliva testing—a simple, yet incredibly insightful method for detecting and understanding various oral and systemic conditions.
What Is Saliva Testing?
OralDNA® diagnostic testing—also known as saliva testing—offers a simple, non-invasive way to gain valuable insights into your oral and overall health. It’s especially helpful for patients who prefer to avoid blood tests. As an emerging tool in modern dentistry, OralDNA is helping transform how dental professionals detect and manage health conditions.
Benefits of MyPerioPath® Saliva Testing
MyPerioPath® is our most commonly used test for detecting harmful bacteria that cause gum disease and may impact both oral and overall health. It serves as an early warning system, helping us tailor your periodontal treatment to your specific needs.
The bacteria identified through MyPerioPath® can also indicate whether you’re at increased risk for serious health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
This test screens for specific types of oral pathogens known to contribute to these risks, allowing for a more personalized and proactive approach to your care.
At Holistic Dentists, we are committed to using only the safest, most effective methods for diagnosing and treating oral health issues. Saliva testing fits perfectly within our holistic philosophy, providing an additional layer of care to ensure you achieve optimal oral health without compromising your overall well-being.
