Salivary Diagnostics, also known as Oral DNA testing, is a cutting-edge service in dental health. It involves analyzing a patient’s saliva to identify specific conditions or predispositions to oral diseases. This non-invasive procedure is simple and efficient: a saliva sample is collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results provide detailed information about the patient’s oral health, including the presence of certain bacteria that can cause periodontal disease, potential for HPV-related oral cancers, and genetic susceptibility to various oral health conditions. Salivary Diagnostics is beneficial for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of their oral health, especially those with a history of dental issues or who are at risk for certain oral diseases. By identifying issues at a molecular level, this service enables personalized treatment plans and preventive strategies.
