In this episode, the Ask Why Medicine team is joined by Dr. Tom Nabors, founder of Direct Diagnostics and a pioneer in salivary testing.
Dr. Tom Nabors describes how his frustration with repeatedly seeing the same cases of periodontal disease led him to research the root cause, and by 2008, start his own diagnostics lab in the US. He discusses how easily periodontal disease can be transferred from person to person through saliva, and the importance of having a saliva test done on every member of the family, no matter what age they are. Dr. Nabors explains that periodontal disease is curable, and that it is crucial to “personalize care [for] each particular individual, and each particular infection.”
”If we personalize treatment via a medical diagnosis, and we teach patients how serious [periodontal] disease is and how to prevent it from returning, then we can cure these diseases most of the time.” - Dr. Tom Nabors
