OraStripdx is a diagnostic strip that estimates the level of sulfur-containing chemicals dissolved in oral fluid.1

Periodontal disease in pets is driven by harmful sulfur-containing chemicals produced by bacteria in the pets’ mouths.2

Not only are these sulfur compounds the main cause of bad breath, they are toxic to pets’ gums and are known to cause the development and progression of periodontal disease.2
