Saliva Testing
Scientific studies have shown evidence that 5 high-risk oral pathogens are causative drivers of inflammation and disease. Up to 50% of heart attacks are triggered by oral pathogens. Those who suffer from gum disease for more than 10 years are 70% more likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease. The high risk oral pathogens are also related to an up to greater than 50% rise of developing cancer, including oral, esophageal, lung, colorectal, pancreatic, and breast cancers. We are now offering saliva testing through Direct Diagnostics for interested patients. The first Step in prevention is screening.
