When you are sick and visit a doctor, you are doing so with the expectation that they will be able to help you become well again, regardless of what the issue is. And while we can’t promise that we’ll never have to take our time in coming up with a specialized treatment plan, Excellent Dental Specialists is proud to offer culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing because we believe it helps us help our patients more quickly and effectively than just taking an educated guess as to what exactly needs to be treated. When we know exactly what kind of bacteria needs to be killed with antibiotics, we can prescribe the right medication the first time around, which will help you feel better more quickly.
Many people want to know exactly what will happen when they undergo the culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing process. Don’t worry! It’s as quick and easy as simply taking a swab of the gingival fluid in your mouth and sending it off for testing.
