Oral-Systemic Health & Clinical Science

What does “oral-systemic health” mean for clinical practice?

Oral-systemic health recognizes the two-way relationship between the mouth and the body. Imbalances in the oral microbiome can contribute to systemic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and chronic disease. Understanding these pathways allows clinicians to deliver more comprehensive, preventive care.

How can I incorporate oral microbiome testing into my practice?

The Mouth Lab guides clinicians through implementing various types of testing. We provide case interpretation, protocol support, and communication strategies to help integrate testing into daily workflows.

Do you teach protocols for managing oral dysbiosis or inflammation?

Yes. We provide clinical frameworks and education modules covering microbiome modulation, probiotic integration, nutritional and behavioral influences, and multidisciplinary treatment planning.

Can you work directly with our dental or medical team?
