Assessing YOUR
Risk for Gum Disease

We gently take a sample of bacteria living under your gums and place it under a 1000x microscope. This real time examination can tell us if you have a gum friendly or gum harmful population of bacteria. We can also see if your immune system (white blood cells) are actively fighting your bacteria.

This is a simple but powerful insight into gum disease risk factors.

In situations of unexplained gum disease, cavities and or recession, we may recommend a more comprehensive look at the microbe population with a saliva test through Bristle Health. This is a deeper look into the types of bacteria that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and also beneficial bacteria that help increase your nitric oxide levels.

Treating gum disease early can be very important for maintaining oral health and overall general health. Live Well Dental Center is an overall wellness center; we care about YOUR whole body.
