Salivary Diagnosis

Are you prone to cavities or gum disease, regardless of your seemingly perfect oral hygiene efforts? Did you know there may be a reason why your oral health seems so unstable? Dr. Crisafulli is one of the few dentists in Kirkland, WA, who can perform salivary diagnosise for patients. This simple test determines the bacteria in your mouth that cause cavities.

A Quick and Easy Test Provides Answers

Salivary diagnosis examines the bacteria load in your mouth and its association with your health. The test is quick and easy: We simply take a swab of your teeth and put it in our medical meter. The medical meter will provide an analog read out. Once your findings are in, Dr. Crisafulli will discuss your results and their implication for your oral health.

The link between oral and systemic health is strong.
