The future of dentistry is here, where the latest evidence-based concepts are utilized to further improve your health from both a dental and medical perspective.

SalivaScore

A cutting-edge chairside test that detects sub-clinical inflammation and 
real-time periodontal breakdown on a cellular level before any clinical signs are evident!

The Dental-Medical 

Connection

 Periodontal disease has long been identified as a rising epidemic in the United States, with nearly 50% of adult Americans showing varying degrees of gum disease which can ultimately lead to tooth loss. Furthermore, enzymes found in the saliva of patients with periodontal conditions have been linked with many chronic systemic diseases.

Breakthrough Innovation

The traditional dental approach is to provide treatment after the signs and symptoms of gum disease are present.  SalivaScore’s patented oral biomarker test detects a measure of aMMP-8, which is the most prevalent cellular biomarker associated with oral and systemic tissue breakdown and destruction around teeth and implants. 

The science behind the aMMP-8 biomarker’s significance has been cited in over 1000 medical and 400 dental publications over the last 15 years. 

This test is especially important since most “gum disease” does not hurt and is invisible until it is in the advanced stages. 

With SalivaScore, the new paradigm is to prevent periodontal conditions “before there is damage” and to be able to predict or identify those high-risk patients that are likely to experience rapid disease progression.

The SalivaScore Test

This early detection and prevention screening provides personalized information on the risks for developing periodontal disease and associated medical conditions of your mouth based on a sample of your saliva.

3 simple steps done conveniently during your 
exam or cleaning appointment:

The Results

Your SalivaScore analysis shows if you have low, elevated or highly elevated levels of aMMP-8. This individualized salivary cellular biomarker analysis indicates the real-time breakdown of collagen and expected rate of disease progression. Personalized oral medicine is now possible.

Prevention

Clinicians can now tailor customized plans focused on preventive/predictive strategies which will address oral inflammation, tooth loss and systemic diseases

Self Care
Continue to brush, rinse and floss on a regular basis to ensure proper hygiene and overall oral health

Treatment Plan
Using this advanced test,  your dentist will be able to provide you with a plan of care that will both treat present disease as well as help prevent future problems

Retesting
We carefully monitor your journey towards optimal dental health and overall wellness

With early detection, we have a better opportunity to apply more conservative  and cost-effective management strategies. This approach can save patients a considerable amount of time and money by avoiding the disease altogether.
