Can you think of a patient who, despite all your efforts, continues to struggle with their periodontal health?<\/p>\n

Do you ever wish that you could \u201csee\u201d that which you cannot \u201csee\u201d?<\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s the good news: You can!<\/p>\n

In addition to a complete professional prophylaxis or periodontal therapy, part of your mission as a healthcare provider is to partner with your patients to achieve better health. When you identify the oral-systemic link for your patients in addition to identifying risk factors for them, you can help patients achieve better treatment outcomes and improved overall health.<\/p>\n

If \u201ca picture is worth 1,000 words\u201d and patients need to \u201csee to believe\u201d, a powerful tool in helping to make things \u201cvisible\u201d is the intra-oral camera. When you see clinical fractures, compromised restorations, or red inflamed bleeding tissue take a picture, show the patient, and review the possible treatment recommendations.<\/p>\n

Salivary diagnostic testing is another tool that helps you to \u201csee\u201d the pathogenic bacteria present in a patient\u2019s oral cavity. After submitting your patient\u2019s saliva sample to the laboratory, you will receive a color graphic representation of your patient\u2019s pathogenic bacteria and their risk factors. This visual is another tool in your toolbox for educating the patient and encouraging case acceptance.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to begin to utilize these two impactful tools to bring focus and visibility for both you and your patient. Intra-oral cameras and salivary diagnostics are instrumental in helping you and your patient to \u201csee\u201d what can\u2019t be \u201cseen\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you want to educate yourself and your team about the importance of pathogen testing and the latest research surrounding the oral-systemic connection, consider attending the 2017 American Academy for Oral Systemic Health Scientific Session\u2014September 15-17, 2017<\/a>, in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n
