OralDNA Labs is a specialty diagnostics company that provides reliable, definitive and cost-effective clinical tests that guide our dentists and team in detecting disease in earlier, more treatable stages. For more information about OralDNA testing in Brick, New Jersey, and to make your appointment with Dr. John Tortora and Dr. Myrna Eskandar, please contact our office at 732-295-1616.
OralDNA testing is used to identify exactly which types of bacteria are present in your mouth and at what levels. Once we know what bacteria is in your mouth and your level of risk, we can determine the best treatments to use in preventing further damage and restoring your oral health.
Certain types of bacteria are more dangerous and destructive than others. Without appropriate treatment, harmful bacteria can contribute to severe forms of periodontal disease, tooth decay and other serious dental problems. When you visit our practice, our dentists will have you swish a sterile saline solution in your mouth and spit it into a tube. This saliva sample is then sent to OralDNA Labs for testing. Once the results of your test come back, we will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan.
