<p>Many patients do not realize that good oral health is imperative to overall health. Several experts consider the state of one’s oral health to indicate the state of general health. This is due to the relationship between oral bacteria and the rest of the body. Most oral bacteria are good, and most harmful bacteria are easily kept at bay by the body’s natural defenses and good oral hygiene.</p>
<p>OralDNA diagnostics testing uses saliva to detect various biocomponents, or oral bacteria, and how they may affect a patient’s health. More specifically, the MyPerioPath® test <a title="Read more about MyPerioPath®" href="https://www.oraldna.com/test/myperiopath/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test">can detect multiple oral pathogens</a> that may cause gum disease and pose a risk to oral and systemic health. It can also help dentists determine if a patient has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and birth complications.</p>

<p>OralDNA diagnostic testing can detect <a title="Read more about OralDNA test menu" href="https://www.oraldna.com/test/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test">a variety of diseases</a>, including:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li>Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea in the oropharynx</li>
<li>Herpes simplex virus in the oropharynx, types 1 and 2</li>
<li>HPV-related oral cancers</li>
<li>Novel coronavirus</li>
<li>Yeast infections</li>
</ul>
<p>It can also assess a patient’s risk for periodontal infections, development of cavities, and HPV-related oral cancers. Additionally, OralDNA testing can identify early warning signs of oral pathogens and analyze gene markers concerning inflammatory responses. None of these tests are more complicated than having the patient provide a simple oral rinse collection.</p>
<p>Patients can also choose to undergo Alert 2™, a diagnostic test for both gum disease-causing oral pathogens and inherited genetic risk. Dentists can use these results to create the best treatment plan tailor-made for the patient’s unique and individual needs. These results may also assist dentists in identifying any potential related systemic health risks.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>OralDNA testing is a quick and painless procedure that requires minimal effort on behalf of the patient. Sample collection requires the patient to swish and gargle a 5mL saline solution vigorously for 30 seconds, then spit it into the funneled collection tube. Our team will then open the preservative vial and pour the sample into the collection tube before preparing it to be sent off to the laboratory.</p>
<p>Like all salivary diagnostic testing, OralDNA diagnostic testing analyzes the secretions from the major and minor salivary glands, oro-nasopharyngeal secretions, gingival crevicular fluid, and cellular debris. <a title="Read more about Properties of saliva as a diagnostic fluid" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4756071/#sec0010title" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test">Saliva contains all of these</a>, along with antibodies, enzymes, growth factors, hormones, microbes, and their products. Many of these enter saliva through the blood. As such, saliva can be considered a reflection of the body’s physiological functionality.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">What OralDNA Testing Can Tell You</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>OralDNA can detect various oral pathogens that may threaten a patient’s oral and systemic health. Many common pathogens that cause gum disease can also heighten one’s risk of other systemic conditions. OralDNA diagnostic testing can help determine if patients were bone with specific genetic markers associated with increased inflammation, which is frequently linked with such conditions. It can often also determine the root cause of bad breath, dental decay, and tooth loss.</p>
<p>Such analysis is achieved by analyzing saliva samples for specific biomarkers. Biomarkers are <a title="Read more about Salivary Biomarkers" href="https://cmr.asm.org/content/26/4/781#abstract-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test">an essential component of one’s DNA</a>. However, they are also found in antibodies, microbes, RNA, lipids, metabolites, and proteins. If these biomarkers are altered in action, concentration, function, or structure, the body may experience an onset, progression, or regression of a particular disorder or its immune response. Consequently, biomarkers are a critical tool in detecting, assessing, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring disease.</p>

The bacterial profile consists of patient demographic information, along with a summary of the test results. Positive results indicate that the test has detected bacterial pathogens above the threshold level. The report will also show the patient’s bacterial risk, along with a graphic representation of which pathogens are present and whether they meet the pathogen load threshold. At the end of the page, there is a section detailing any clinical significance these pathogens may have on a patient’s risk for periodontal disease.</p>
<p>The clinical considerations page will also include the patient’s demographic information and a summary and graphic presentation of the test results. However, it will also present various therapeutic options for a patient’s unique pathogen profile and any follow-up testing recommendations.

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How do harmful oral bacteria enter the body?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">The mouth is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. It also acts as an entryway to the digestive and respiratory tracts. Most bacteria are harmless, but poor oral hygiene may allow them to thrive at problematically high levels. However, genetics, environment, and lifestyle may also come into play. They may be transmitted via contact or manifest via dietary sugar, pregnancy hormones, disease, dentures, or braces.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How does OralDNA testing make dental treatment more effective?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Without the MyPerioPath test results, your dentist cannot know the specific bacteria they must combat. As a result, patients may be either over- or under-treated, and it may take longer for any health conditions to be resolved. MyPerioPath tests give dentists an objective overview of a patient’s needs.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Will OralDNA testing change my treatment plan?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It depends. If your MyPerioPath results show that there is a bacterial risk involved, University Dental Associates can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. If the results show no bacterial risk is involved, your treatment plan may no longer include any systemic antibiotic or antimicrobial rinses. Additionally, further testing may be necessary to determine the root cause of your condition and personal risk profile.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Are there any waiting periods before I can give my sample?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It depends on your medication schedule. If you are on systemic antibiotics as pre-procedural medication or chronic medical conditions, you do not have to wait before saliva collection. However, if you use any over-the-counter oral care products, you will need to wait at least 30 minutes since your last application to give a sample. Similarly, there is a required wait time of 24 hours for patients using prescription-strength antimicrobial or antibiotic rinses and a two-week wait time for patients who have undergone dental procedures that disrupt the biofilm. Patients taking local antibiotics must also wait four weeks to give a saliva sample, and patients undergoing systemic antibiotics for acute conditions must wait for six.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How does chronic oral inflammation affect the rest of the body?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">There are two hypotheses for this: (1) Chronic inflammation in the oral cavity weakens the immune system by increasing the level of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream, or (2) the oral cavity collects any disease-causing bacteria that may enter the bloodstream. Consequently, periodontal disease may increase the risk of adverse overall health outcomes.</span></p>
