Salivary Pathogen Testing
Dr. Jennifer K Lamont, DDS utilizes Direct Diagnostics HR-5 Salivary Pathogen Testing to identify the presence of the 5 highest risk periodontal pathogens that may be present in your saliva. Our office is focused on prevention, and the first step in prevention is screening!
Salivary testing is fast, easy, inexpensive, and offers valuable insight into each patient’s specific oral microbiome. Reducing the bacterial load and inflammation in your mouth directly reduces the bacterial load and inflammation in your body, lowering your risk for heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and cancer. Identifying your personalized oral risk factors is one of the first steps to achieving optimal oral wellness.
