What is the Cause of Periodontal Disease?

If you could test to determine the cause of a person’s diabetes, wouldn’t you do it? If you could get at the root of a person’s atherosclerosis, wouldn’t you test for that as well? If you could take a test sample to diagnose the type of kidney disease, wouldn’t you do it? Hypertension? Ulcers? Pneumonia? Peripheral vascular disease? Rheumatoid arthritis? Crohn’s disease? Acne? Anorexia? Asthma? Bipolar disorder? Breast cancer? Epilepsy? Myocardial infarction? Headache?

Of course you would because it would help with the resolution of the illness, condition, disease, pain, etc. Do you understand periodontal disease to be a serious health concern as well? Since periodontal disease causing bacteria can be determined, why aren’t you doing it? Get your patients to spit in a vial and send it to OralDNA Labs.
