Home Dental Exam

Dr. Thompson, founder of Integrative Oral Medicine and the Wellness Dentistry Network, has used salivary diagnostics for over 10 years to help improve the oral and general health of his patients.

Recent research has made it clear that the health of the mouth is directly related to your overall health. You simply cannot be healthy with a sick mouth. An overgrowth of the wrong type of bacteria can be the problem.

Now, without leaving your home, you can learn if you have the most common bacteria, yeast, or viruses that cause gum disease.

Home Dental Exam has removed the barrier of dentist availability and travel by bringing the testing ability to you!

“We create beautiful smiles and help those smiling to be as healthy as can be.”

COVID – 19 VIRUS TEST - $175

This test is for the active virus, not for antibodies or antigens.

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that infects the respiratory epithelium: the cells lining the nose, oral cavity, the trachea, and bronchial tubes. Specifically, the virus binds to receptors on the cell surface called ACE2. Infection involves the virus to be taken up into the host cells where the viral genome consisting of RNA is replicated and packaged to produce new virions.

To diagnose COVID-19 a sample of nasal or oral secretions are collected to look for viral RNA, evidence of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in that person. The RNA is extracted, then polymerase chain reaction (or PCR) is used to amplify the sequence-specific to SARS-CoV-2. The results of these tests are “Detected” – positive for the virus, “Not Detected” – no virus or so little that it cannot be detected, or “Inconclusive” – the sample is degraded or insufficient in material to perform the test. OraRisk^® COVID-19 PCR requires a collection from an Oral Rinse + Nasal Swab collection. Click HERE to learn more.
