The bacteria that live in your mouth are communicable. That means if you have harmful bacteria under your gums, you're sharing them with your spouse and your kids. Anytime you share a sip of your soda or a taste of that delicious appetizer on your fork, you’re passing along bacteria as well.
When we do OralDNA exams in the office, we can immediately identify if you have high-risk bacteria in your mouth. And if we see that, it’s likely that your close family members also have the same bacteria. So we know that we have our work cut out for us.
I’m not trying to scare you. I just want you to understand that treating your oral health helps protect your whole family.
When you get your bacteria under control, you're stopping the cycle. You're not passing it to your kids. You're not reinfecting your spouse. You're making a change that impacts everyone around you.
Protect your whole family. Start with your mouth. Call (972) 668-7118.
