WHY TEST?

In some it may be easy to spot, however, in the vast majority, there may be dangerous and damaging periodontal disease pathogens hiding that can’t be identified by a perio probe or a visual exam. There are around 200-300 bacterial species residing inside the mouth. Out of this happy colonization, only a select few of these residents are contributors to dental decay (caries) or periodontal disease.

Testing delivers evidence of the presence of damaging levels of periodontal bacteria and drives more patients into the necessary periodontal therapy and better home care regimens they need. In addition, education from testing provides more dedicated patients signing up and committed to in-office oral healthcare regimens.

Test everyone! (Periodontal disease is the most undiagnosed & untreated disease with the highest impact on so many bodily systems and functions.)
Patients with bleeding (Gingivitis) while charting or cleaning and those with mild, moderate, or severe Periodontitis.
Those patients with unexplained inflammatory biomarkers such as hsCRP.
All patients’ pre and post-restorative care procedures (braces, extraction, root canals, implants).
Those currently pregnant or actively pursuing pregnancy.
All patients at current risk of any systemic health disease.

Can periodontal disease be cured?admin2023-03-22T02:32:40+00:00

Can periodontal disease be cured?

You can’t cure periodontitis, but you can manage the condition with proper care and maintenance. This includes good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings at intervals recommended by your dentist.

Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease. Hallmark symptoms include red, bleeding, and tender gums, loose teeth, bad breath, and gum recession.

What is periodontal disease?admin2023-03-22T02:33:28+00:00

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal diseases are mainly the result of infections and inflammation of the gums and bone that surround and support the teeth. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums can become swollen and red, and they may bleed.

A recent CDC report1 provides the following data related to prevalence of periodontitis in the U.S.:

47.2% of adults aged 30 years and older have some form of periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease increases with age, 70.1% of adults 65 years and older have periodontal disease.
This condition is more common in men than women (56.4% vs 38.4%), those living below the federal poverty level (65.4%), those with less than a high school education (66.9%), and current smokers (64.2%)
