Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> Tell me how you use OralDNA\u00ae salivary diagnostics.
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> We use OralDNA\u00ae to create a customized plan for treating our patient\u2019s periodontal disease. We also use it to gauge the success of their periodontal treatment and revised home care regimens. Salivary diagnostics enables us to treat the patient\u2019s whole health by tying their periodontal condition to their medical history and treating the specific bacteria that could be contributing to multiple health conditions.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> What are the top two things to consider when you select a patient for testing?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> The two most important things to consider are medical history and the presence of periodontal inflammation.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> What are the biggest benefits to using salivary diagnostics?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> We can identify and treat the specific bacteria that may be contributing to a patient\u2019s chronic diseases like periodontal disease or heart disease.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> What is your favorite part of the MyPerioPath\u00ae results? Why?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> I love that the results are easy for my team and patients to read and interpret. The information is presented in a format that is well organized and visually appealing.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> How do your patient\u2019s respond to this technology?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> Our patients respond very well to salivary diagnostics. They like that our office is technologically advanced and that we are up-to-date with how periodontal disease is connected to other chronic inflammatory health conditions. They are familiar with getting lab tests at their doctor\u2019s office and they like to receive information about their whole health with a simple saliva test.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> If a new OralDNA\u00ae provider were to ask you for advice, what would be your best tip?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> Provide training for the whole team so everyone is speaking the same language. Everybody on the team will get faced with questions and should be empowered to handle those questions.<\/p>\n

Dr. McGlennen:<\/strong> Where do you see salivary diagnostics in 3-5 years? 10 years? What would be the impact on your practice\/patients?
\nDr. Gonzales:<\/strong> I hope to see more physicians who are using salivary diagnostics in conjunction with blood tests so we can treat the whole body health of our patients. Our patients would benefit from a more team-centered approach between their physicians and dentists. Visit us at\u00a0www.academydentalcarenm.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
