Modern dentistry enables us to better prevent and predict more potential oral health issues than ever before.
Your holistic dentist in Lake Oswego relies on the latest techniques and technologies to help ensure patients enjoy comfortable and healthy smiles today and in the future.
Moving Beyond Traditional Checkups
Of course, dental checkups and teeth cleanings, alongside excellent oral hygiene, remain foundational for your ongoing dental health, but modern dentistry takes prevention a step further.
The Future of Prevention: Saliva Diagnostics
Our SillHa Oral Wellness System tests saliva to diagnose conditions at the earliest possible stages or to predict future oral health issues. With saliva testing, your dentist can detect:
- Gum Disease
- Tooth Decay
- Systemic Inflammation
- Ways to Improve Oral Health
We can also use the testing results to personalize your treatment and make recommendations for daily dental care, dietary choices, and more.
Saliva testing can also identify bacterial imbalances that can later lead to specific dental health issues.
Understanding the Science: How SillHa Analyzes Your Risk
- Marker 1: Caries Activity — We can analyze the bacteria that lead to tooth decay.
- Marker 2: Periodontal Health (Gum Disease Risk) — We can detect early gum disease and assess your risk of future gingivitis.
- Marker 3: Lifestyle and Comfort Indicators — By analyzing your saliva, we can provide practical recommendations to improve your oral health and dental comfort.
