Salivary Testing

At Sedation & Implant Dentistry we believe that dentistry has expanded beyond the mouth. The link between the oral condition and the whole body are evident. We believe that patients should be actively aware of what is going on in their body and mouth and know that each and every patient is unique in their needs. We are now offering salivary testing for patients. The tests can help us better understand your condition; such as periodontal disease, better treat you individually and overall give you more insight into the oral systemic connection. Oral healthcare is just as important as whole body healthcare and the mouth truly can be a “window” to the body.
