Your saliva can reveal a variety of interesting facts about you. For example, you can learn more about your family and your heritage. We are proud to provide saliva testing that can detect potential problems with your oral health as well as your overall health. Read on to learn more about the benefits and details of this form of testing.

Benefits of OralDNA Testing
Since the height of the pandemic, many individuals have taken a greater interest in their overall health. Some people are fascinated with understanding their health and trying to determine if there is a possibility of a problem developing in the future. One way that we can help patients with this is through OralDNA testing.

OralDNA tests are beneficial because they can provide results that help determine the current bacteria levels in your mouth and how they can affect your overall health in the future. Some patients receive information about the potential for diseases that they are not seeing symptoms for yet. We provide patients with two forms of saliva testing.

The MyPerioPath test finds out which bacteria are triggering periodontal disease and can determine specific changes in your DNA that might indicate a greater risk for developing a more serious disease. The information from these tests can help our team and other medical professionals select the most appropriate treatment plan. If certain conditions, such as gum disease, for example, are not treated when diagnosed, patients can experience a number of serious health complications in the future. OralDNA tests can assist in diagnosing and preventing issues such as:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy complications
  • Increased risk of certain cancers
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Dementia

These tests are simple and can be performed with a simple saliva sample. A saline solution is swished in your mouth and deposited into a tube. If you are interested in learning more about OralDNA testing, be sure to contact our office located in Brunswick, GA. We look forward to helping you get the knowledge you need to treat threats to your health as early as possible.
