Author: There are many tests that help doctors predict our risk of developing certain diseases. We routinely get our blood pressure taken to assess our risk of hypertension. A blood pressure of higher than 120/80 is considered high risk and in need of treatment. We get our cholesterol checked to assess our risk of heart disease. A cholesterol score of higher than 200 is considered high risk and in need of treatment. There are even genetic tests for breast and ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer that tell us if we are in an extremely high risk category for developing these cancers. Most of us do not question the validity of these results and accept that the treatment that is recommended by our doctor is necessary to better our overall health and reduce these risks.
We are very excited to announce that we now have a risk assessment tool for gum disease! PreViser™ is an easy tool that you will receive at every routine hygiene therapy and oral cancer screenings appointment at no cost to you! PreViser™ analytic reports provide you and I with an easy to understand and scientifically validated risk and disease score for gum disease. The PreViser™ Risk Score tells us, on a scale from 1-5, the probability you have of developing gum disease in your lifetime. The PreViser™ Disease Score, on a scale of 1-100, tells us how healthy you are right now.
Why is this important? The earlier that gum disease is diagnosed the faster we can halt it in its tracks. Gum disease affects more than just your teeth and gums. Recent research has linked gum disease to other health problems including heart and respiratory diseases; diabetes; preterm, low birth weight babies; stroke; osteoporosis; and even some cancers.
At our practice in Shelby Township, Michigan, we strive to provide you with the best care available. The addition of PreViser™ to our practice gives us another tool to ensure that we reach our goal of providing you with Optimal Oral Health Care on Every Visit.
