ABOUT US

Meet the PDX
Biotech Team

Like you, at PDX BIOTECH LLC we work as a team, for the good of your patients and to empower your team. With over a century of professional experience across our core team and another 100+ years among our board of clinical advisors, we have had ample time to consider what we are about.

Our core values include:

  • Patients first
  • It takes a team
  • Follow the data
  • Give back to the community

We run a lean operation to make sure we can deliver OraStripdx to your team at an affordable price so the value of our test can be realized for the good of your patients.

As a team ourselves, we are from diverse backgrounds so our complementary strengths can come together to help your team communicate to your patients’ families the critical importance of oral health care to their family members’ long-term wellness.

Our company was founded, and OraStripdx was launched, because the data were just too compelling to ignore. Simply put, the thiols that we measure have been proven in clinical studies to track the progress of active periodontal disease, a lifelong condition that must be consistently managed.

From the very beginning we have made giving back a core of our identity. We have sent product around the world to those seeking to provide better oral health care. In the US we have supported rescue organizations as well as veterinary teams working with the unhoused. We have also provided product to educators of the next generation of veterinary teams.

OraStripdx should be used in every exam. The product has helped many patients get the periodontal care they need.

Mary Berg

Dental disease is one of the most common diseases in companion animals and also one of the most preventable. Prevention and early detection are key to stopping disease progression. Unfortunately, many veterinary professionals have a difficult time showing the need for prevention to pet owners. Orastripdx is a tool that can help the veterinary team demonstrate the need for a dental procedure before the obvious and severe signs of periodontal disease are present.

OraStripdx can be a very useful examination room indicator for gingival health and periodontal status. This product has been shown to improve client compliance with dental recommendations.

Our team has incorporated OraStripdx into our adult dog preventive care plans. We like that we have something to demonstrate the need for an anesthetic dental procedure.
