DentinoScan
What can this test reveal?
This test detects the presence of aggressive acid-producing bacteria on the teeth, which contribute significantly to the formation of dental caries. These microorganisms form a resistant biofilm, known as dental plaque, which is difficult to remove with normal dental hygiene.
Their presence indicates that the oral environment is ideal for the development of tooth decay and is therefore a clear indicator of an increased risk of its development.
Thanks to the test results, you can tailor preventive measures, from eating habits to dental hygiene to dietary supplements or professional care recommended by your dentist, thereby significantly reducing the risk of tooth damage.
When to get tested?
SUSCEPTIBILITY
Increased risk of more frequent tooth decay in children.
PREVENTION
Preventive examinations as part of regular dental care.
HERITAGE
Higher likelihood of tooth decay in children due to family heredity.
DETAILED INFORMATION
The test is particularly suitable for children aged 1 to 7, as it helps to detect an increased risk of tooth decay at an early stage. This makes it possible to start preventive care before the first problems appear.
It is also recommended for people with frequent tooth decay, people with a higher incidence of tooth decay in their family, pregnant women, and new mothers, whose oral microflora composition may change. The test is a simple and proven way to protect dental health in a timely manner, especially in young children, for whom proper prevention plays a crucial role.
The test focuses on the presence of specific bacteria and yeasts that contribute to tooth decay, specifically Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus spp. and Candida albicans yeast.
