Oral DNA Screening in Cumming, GA
Personalized Prevention for Healthier Smiles
At Inspiring Smiles, we go beyond traditional dentistry by looking deeper into how your oral health affects your overall well-being. One of the advanced tools we use is oral DNA screening—a simple, non-invasive test that analyzes bacteria in your mouth. By identifying harmful pathogens early, we can create a personalized treatment plan that helps prevent gum disease and reduce risks for systemic health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Why Choose Oral DNA Screening?
Your mouth is home to hundreds of types of bacteria. While many are harmless, some can trigger chronic infections that damage your gums, teeth, and even your overall health. Oral DNA screening allows us to:
- Detect harmful bacteria linked to gum disease and other systemic conditions
- Predict your risk for periodontal disease progression
- Tailor treatments such as LANAP laser therapy to your unique oral environment
- Support long-term oral and systemic health outcomes
This approach empowers you with knowledge and ensures we’re treating the cause of your condition—not just the symptoms.
How Oral DNA Screening Works
The process is fast, easy, and painless:
- A small saliva sample is collected.
- The sample is sent to a lab for DNA analysis.
- Results identify specific bacteria and risk markers.
- Our team creates a customized treatment plan to reduce harmful bacteria and protect your oral health.
This test is especially valuable for patients with chronic gum disease, recurrent infections, or a history of systemic health conditions.
