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.
