Wouldn’t it be nice to know what is making your gums tender and bleeding?  We have come to know that bleeding and sore gums can be attributed to gingivitis or periodontitis.  There can be a number of contributing factors but at the root (no pun intended) of all of this are bacteria.  Bacteria are known to cause infection (i.e., inflammation, bleeding).  Advances in medicine have lead to the use of antibiotics to cure and treat the most common to the most complex systemic infections.   The good news in all of this is that we are now able to test for the specific type of bacteria causing your sore and tender gums and treat this more appropriately than we have been able to previously. OralDNA (www.oralDNA.com) is a simple test that can provide us with a complete bacterial analysis to get your mouth and body healthy again.
