Advanced saliva based microbiome analysis for oral and systemic health
The Oral Microbiome Test is a comprehensive saliva based assessment that analyses the balance of bacteria, archaea, and fungi within the mouth. Using advanced shotgun sequencing, it identifies up to 700 different microbes, providing a detailed insight into your unique oral ecosystem.
This test goes beyond basic dental assessments by evaluating 25 key pathogens associated with plaque, cavities, gum disease, and oral inflammation, alongside 16 opportunistic organisms that may contribute to imbalance and disease risk.
What makes this test different?
Unlike gut or vaginal microbiome testing, oral health is not determined by diversity alone. Instead, it relies on the balance between beneficial (commensal) and harmful (pathogenic) microbes.
This test focuses specifically on that balance, only reporting microbes that are detected, allowing for a more targeted and clinically relevant interpretation.
What can it help identify?
• Risk factors for gum disease and inflammation
• Microbial patterns linked to tooth decay and plaque formation
• Oral dysbiosis that may impact systemic health
• Opportunistic microbes that can contribute to chronic inflammation
Why it matters
The oral microbiome plays a key role not only in dental health but also in wider systemic processes, including inflammation and immune function. Imbalances in the mouth have been linked to conditions affecting the gut, cardiovascular system, and overall health.
Understanding your oral microbiome allows for a more personalised approach to oral care, helping to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and support long term health.
