Wellness Centered Dentistry
Seattle, WA
 At Queen Anne Family Dental we are passionate about the ever-emerging research regarding the Oral Systemic Link. The connections between the inflammation in your mouth and your overall health are overwhelming. Research continues to show that the bacteria in your mouth are affecting your heart, brain, airway, gut and much more. What we do at the dental office can help prevent and control the progression of heart disease, Alzheimer's, Sleep Apnea and many other serious medical conditions.
Salivary Testing
We offer a simple saliva test right in the office to evaluate your overall bacterial load and susceptibility to gum disease. We then use that data to create a personalized plan that is right for you. This plan may include periodontal treatments, laser treatments, antibiotics, homecare products and even referrals back to your primary care doctor for further medical evaluations. At our office, we use clinical laboratory services from OralDNA Labs® to ensure we are giving our patients the best oral health information possible. OralDNA Labs® is a specialty diagnostics company designed to provide reliable, definitive and cost effective clinical tests that guide oral health professionals in detecting and prognosing disease at an earlier, more treatable stage.

Annual Intraoral Wellness Scan
Have you noticed your teeth are becoming shorter, thinner or more crowded as you age? Have you been told you might be clenching or grinding? Our highly accurate digital scanning technology allows us to offer annual digital wellness scans of your teeth that can provide concrete evidence of the minute changes to your teeth year by year. We can compare the scans annually and determine if the wear on your teeth is actively getting worse and what we might need to do about it.
HBA1C Checks
Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) is a blood test that measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. In our office we can provide a HBA1C check to determine your blood sugar stability prior to dental treatment or just to help evaluate your overall risk.
Blood Pressure Checks
Most people see their dentist more often than their primary care doctor. We will check your Blood Pressure and pulse at each visit to help keep you safe in our chair and also to provide historical data that can be brought to your Doctor for your next check up.
Pepsin Check Test
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) are both common conditions that involve stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus and throat, causing discomfort, regurgitation, and enamel erosion. A Pepsin Test Check is an accurate, painless and inexpensive test that tells you conclusively if you have GERD or LPR.
Laser Treatments
We use a safe and effective diode laser to treat mouth ulcerations, herpes cold sores, dry and cracking lips and much more . Diode lasers are minimally invasive and help us to remove growths, treat gum disease and perform important surgical procedures in the mouth.
Screening for Sleep Apnea and Sleep Disordered Breathing
Do you snore? Do you often wake up feeling tired? We have an easy and affordable at-home sleep test that will help identify if you are a high risk patient for sleep apnea and get you moving in the right direction towards health and better sleep. Learn More
