Health concern has increased over the years. According to a press release from the World Health Organization, people around the world are living longer and in better health, and this is largely thanks to the progressive growth in disease prevention activities and the creation of treatments better adapted to each individual, where DNA plays an essential role.
However, there are still countless diseases that seriously affect our health. In order to maintain good health, no aspect should be neglected, as it could have consequences that are not immediately visible, but highly serious in the future. One of the aspects that is usually neglected the most in our country is oral health. According to a report published by the SEPA (Spanish Society of Periodontology and Osseointegration), up to 85% of Spaniards could be affected by at least one oral health problem. Having poor oral health not only affects your mouth and teeth, but could lead to general health illnesses.
Following the line of preventive medicine, SPIRAL enters the field of microgenetic dentistry, developing a bacteriological genetic test capable of improving diagnoses, adapting treatment to the genetic needs of each patient and treating diseases as soon as possible. From this test, oral bacteria that could generate periodontal diseases associated with cardiovascular diseases, conditions during pregnancy, Alzheimer’s disease and others are detected and identified. In addition, this test, according to the latest studies, could contribute to the prevention of cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, being one of the main causes of death in Spain.
For this reason, Vitaldent has decided to incorporate this test as a diagnostic test in its practices in nearly 300 clinics throughout Spain, not only betting on preventive medicine but also fulfilling the objective of providing the best service to its clients.
