Description
WHY TEST?
90% of the population has a form of gum disease. In some, it may be easy to spot. However, in a vast majority these very dangerous and damaging pathogens, linked to multiple systemic diseases, will present with no symptoms or pain until reaching very severe stages. This makes it easy to miss.
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.
WHO TO TEST?
- 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.
