Taking Charge of Your Oral and Overall Health with Oral Saliva Testing

Did you know that the bacteria in your mouth can impact your overall health? That’s why at Potomac Dental Centre, located in Hagerstown, MD, we proudly use PerioPath® Saliva Testing. PerioPath® is a leading saliva test for detecting harmful oral bacteria linked to gum disease and broader health concerns.

Why Oral Bacteria Matters

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an inflammatory condition caused by specific bacteria and your body’s response to those bacteria. When left untreated, it can lead to serious oral complications. Even more concerning, studies have linked these same bacteria to conditions like Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Stroke, and even Birth Complications.

Early Detection, Personalized Treatment

PerioPath® Testing offers early detection, letting us spot dangerous oral pathogens before they cause significant damage. Armed with this knowledge and an understanding of your unique risk factors, we can create a personalized treatment plan just for you. Depending on your results, recommended treatments may include oral rinses, antibiotics, probiotics, deep cleanings, and more.

Don’t Wait for Symptoms

One of the biggest challenges with gum disease is that symptoms, such as bleeding gums or loose teeth often appear late in the game. By then, more serious damage may have already set in. With early saliva testing and a tailored care plan, you can help protect your smile and reduce your risk of developing serious health issues.
