Saliva Test

We use a comprehensive saliva test that analyzes your entire oral microbiome including 700+ bacteria, fungi and viruses. 

Imbalances or disruptions in the oral microbiome can contribute to several health issues including oral infections, inflammation, digestive issues, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Through identifying and analyzing the level of microbes in your saliva we can develop a custom plan to improve your oral and overall health.

Get personalized solutions for your oral health

​

The oral microbiome is the foundation of your oral health and made up of a complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and more. The mouth and its microbiome are the gateway to some of the most vital functions for human life. The latest research has linked dysbiosis in the oral microbiome to a number of local and systemic diseases including gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and certain cancers (Willis & Gordon, 2020). Your oral microbiome is the foundation of your oral health. We help you identify and eliminate the harmful bacteria in your mouth to improve your oral and overall health and detect the root cause of conditions like bad breath, chronic tooth decay and gum inflammation. We will work to develop a plan in office and for your home to help balance your oral microbiome.
