Escape Operative Complications with Oral DNA Testing

No two patients are alike. Individual have their own unique bacterial profile, brought to light through Oral DNA testing. This test can indicate the type and quantity of bacterium within your oral cavity. Why should this interest you?

Consider the following example. Sally requires a total joint replacement implant. The process is involved and the recovery uncomfortable. Did you know oral bacteria can potentially play interference with the success of such a procedure? Science has shown that harmful bacteria found in a person’s mouth can migrate and result in difficult-to-treat infections and the necessity of removing joint replacements.

Knowing that your mouth is in optimal health will give you and your surgeon peace of mind that everything within your power has been done to make any surgery successful. However, it’s not only those undergoing joint replacement implants that should find Oral DNA testing of interest.
