Oral DNA Testing: The Future of Treating Gum Disease has Arrived!

White Wolf Dental is pleased to announce the arrival of Oral DNA testing. Periodontal disease has reached epidemic proportions; affecting millions of Americans and creating a host of health problems. Scientific studies show periodontal infection is related to systemic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer.

Dr. Valenzi focuses on each patient’s overall health; both dental and medical. Oral DNA testing can assist Dr. Valenzi in identifying bacterial causes of gum disease and genetic traits of each individual patient.

DNA Testing Now Helping Treat Gum Disease

Dr. Valenzi is concerned with patients overall health, both dental and medical. Studies show that periodontal infection is related to systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes & some forms of cancer. Dr. Valenzi is now performing Oral DNA ( www.OralDNA.com ) testing which helps detect the bacterial causes and genetic trait of each individual patient. Since each patient and each periodontal infection is different, with the OralDNA test we know exactly which antibiotics needed to be prescribed for each patient. When combined with Laser or conventional gum treatment, targeted antibiotics can lead to higher success rates.

In addition, OralDNA testing can monitor the presence of the pathogenic bacteria. We can have an “early warning” that you are at risk for more bone loss or be reassured that you are still in good health.
