Dental Salivary Testing
Your oral health is the gateway to your overall well-being. Harmony Dental Wellness offers a revolutionary, non-invasive way to gain valuable insights into your oral and systemic health. By analyzing your saliva, we can detect early signs of disease, personalize your care, and help you achieve optimal health. Dr. Farahani is trained in the application of saliva tests to help guide your care and keep your body in balance. When your body is in balance, health is optimized and problems are prevented!
Early Disease Detection
Salivary testing allows Dr. Farahani to identify early indicators of oral diseases like periodontal disease, dental caries, and even oral cancer. Early detection means timely intervention and better outcomes for your health.
Non-Invasive & Comfortable
No needles, no discomfort. Saliva collection is as simple as rinse and spit, making it a stress-free experience for all patients.
Bacterial Analysis for Targeted Care
Understanding the specific bacteria in your saliva helps us pinpoint the causes of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues, so we can treat them effectively.
Evaluate Saliva Quality
Salivary testing assesses the quantity and composition of your saliva, helping us address conditions like dry mouth (xerostomia) and reflux that can affect your oral and overall health.
Insights Into Systemic Health
Your saliva contains biomarkers that can reveal risks for systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Knowledge of these markers allows us to tailor your care to your unique biology.
Monitor Treatment Effectiveness
Track the success of your dental treatments, such as periodontal therapy, by observing changes in bacterial levels and overall oral health.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Your oral microbiome is unique. Salivary testing allows us to create customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best care possible.
Minimal Medication Intervention
By analyzing your results, Dr. Farahani is able to select only the effective medications (such as antibiotics) for your biology. She is able to minimize the number of medications used in your care and prevent unwanted side effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course we do! Dr. Farahani uses virtual dental appointments to reduce the number of times patients need to come to the office. Using either photographs or video chats, Dr. Farahani is able to help answer questions or give guidance to patients. This is especially useful for patients going through Invisalign clear aligner therapy. Where as we usually see these patients every 6 weeks, we can reduce those visits to every 10 weeks or even longer between visits! Feel free to ask if Virtual Care is right for you.
