The OraStrip diagnostic test provides objective confirmation of disease invisible below the gumline, and provides early detection in patients with healthy-looking mouths, when irreversible disease is preventable. We tested this service with Maya, our clinic pet, who has pearly white teeth. Using OraStrip diagnostic testing, it turns out that Maya had an abscess tooth that had been broken below the surface. The teeth were not infected but with the help of OraStrip, we were able to assist Maya in getting a healthier smile!
Thank you for blogging about OraStrip. While we're happy that Maya is not showing any signs of periodontal disease, you are pointing out something that unfortunately we see every day -- the fact that dogs with no visual signs can still be infected. The OraStrip test shows what a visual exam alone cannot detect, and works as an early detection device, when irreversible disease is preventable.
