Forget the one-size-fits-all of the past. Let\u2019s say the patient has one or more high-risk pathogens at high levels. Given the significant disease causing potential of these bacteria, the likelihood of non-responding sites is elevated in this example. This is powerful information since it allows us to plan how we will address non-responding sites in advance, should they occur. Without testing, we would not be able to anticipate the outcome and plan accordingly. We would be treating reactively, rather than proactively. Big difference, most importantly for the patient.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed the holiday throwback, this originally posted on 12\/9\/2016.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on how to become an OralDNA Provider \u2013 scan HERE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/QR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/QR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good results are possible but the odds for disease resolution can be tipped in the patient\u2019s favor through salivary bacterial testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126,10,110],"tags":[9,76,3],"class_list":["post-5520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clinical-laboratory","category-periodontal-disease","category-salivary-diagnostics","tag-bacterial-testing","tag-periodontal-disease","tag-salivary-diagnostics"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Small-The-Insights-Provided_174893789.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7W16z-1r2","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5520"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5520"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7737,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5520\/revisions\/7737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
