Dr. Valenzi is concerned with patients overall health, both dental and medical.  Studies show that periodontal infection is related to systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes & some forms of cancer.  Dr. Valenzi is now performing Oral DNA ( www.OralDNA.com ) testing which helps detect the bacterial causes and genetic trait of each individual patient.  Since each patient and each periodontal infection is different, with the OralDNA test we know exactly which antibiotics needed to be prescribed for each patient.  When combined with Laser or conventional gum treatment, targeted antibiotics can lead to higher success rates.

In addition, OralDNA testing can monitor the presence of the pathogenic bacteria.  We can have an "early warning" that you are at risk for more bone loss or be reassured that you are still in good health.
