The goal of testing is to REDUCE THE RISK for the patient.

Realistic expectations are crucial for saliva testing. While some patients may achieve the goal of reducing high-risk bacteria to zero, it's not always feasible for everyone. There are numerous factors beyond our control, but that shouldn’t deter us from continuing to test and reduce those harmful pathogens.

Testing allows you to mitigate the risk of alveolar bone loss, systemic inflammation, and other long-term chronic diseases. This is a significant achievement, and should be acknowledged as such!

We want you to embrace the process. Although it may not be linear, you are positively impacting your patient’s health by providing the necessary care and keeping them informed about their disease status. Reducing the quantity of these pathogens is already a tremendous success!

Whether you typically use antibiotics or not, post-testing is crucial in your patient’s care!

There is literature that supports antibiotic therapy, and there are also studies that highlight that some bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. Each patient is unique, with different bacteria compositions and veracity in their mouths. This is why there will never be a perfect one-size-fits-all approach.

This is where the HR5 Test comes into play. The HR5 Test is the most accurate and affordable saliva test on the market today, allowing you to make informed decisions on patient care based on the objective data provided. Pre-testing with HR5 provides a clear view of the current state of the patient’s mouth to create a personalized treatment plan, while post-testing shows how that treatment is working, revealing if bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics in some patients.
