News in HPV Vaccine & HPV Screening

The HPV Vaccine has recently made headlines again, now encouraging young boys to get the vaccine as well as young girls.  While we do not administer the vaccine, we are also encouraging a proactive approach.  Atlanta Smiles and Wellness is one of the only dental offices in Atlanta that offers a quick and easy HPV screening to patients of all ages.  Teaming with OralDNA Dental Labs, patients are able to take a simple salivary diagnostic test, OraRisk.  While in the chair (the test can be taken at the same time as your cleaning), patients swish with a solution for 30 seconds and then expel into a cup that is later sent to the lab for testing….that’s it!  Click here for more information on these services!
