Spit Happens (to be very important)!

At Fallon Dental Arts, we are motivated to moving our patients toward optimal health for our patients. We are excited to announce that we will soon be offering salivary testing, particularly for our periodontal high-risk patients. This innovative approach aligns with our goal of enhancing diagnostic capabilities and providing a deeper understanding of oral and systemic health.

Salivary testing serves as a significant diagnostic tool, allowing us to assess a variety of conditions, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and even systemic issues like diabetes and autoimmune disorders. By analyzing spit, we can gain valuable insights without the invasiveness of traditional blood tests, making it a comfortable alternative for our patients.

Salivary testing helps us customize treatment to your specific needs
Healthy Smile through salivary diagnosis based targeted therapies.

As we incorporate salivary testing into or practice, we will be able to examine the oral microbiome, identify potential pathogenic organisms, and measure salivary flow rates. This information will be instrumental in tailoring our treatments and monitoring changes in health over time. Additionally, the inclusion of genetic analysis will help us identify predispositions to specific oral diseases, enabling us to provide more personalized care.

Overall, the introduction of salivary testing at Fallon Dental Arts represents a forward-thinking approach to dentistry, enhancing our ability to support our patients in achieving optimal health. We look forward to utilizing this valuable tool to improve patient outcomes and overall well-being.
