WHAT IT IS
The Oral Microbiome Test is a saliva-based screening that gives you a clear read on the microbial and inflammatory landscape of your mouth, and how it is influencing the rest of your body.
We use the SimplyPERIO platform from Spectrum Solutions, processed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory.
WHAT IT SCREENS FOR
17 oral pathogens organized by clinical complex:
- 3 Red Complex pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia)
- 1 Purple Complex pathogen (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans)
- 4 Orange Complex pathogens (Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Fusobacterium animalis)
- 1 Green Complex pathogen (Eikenella corrodens)
- 2 key bacteria related to cavity risk (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis)
- 1 yeast (Candida albicans)
- 1 peri-implantitis risk pathogen (Pseudomonas aeruginosa)
- 4 common viral targets, including herpes simplex (HSV-1, HSV-2), Epstein-Barr (EBV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV)
WHY THIS MATTERS
The bacteria, viruses, and fungi in your mouth are in constant conversation with the rest of your body. Specific pathogens have been tied to gum disease, cavities, cardiovascular risk, and systemic inflammation that shows up far from the mouth.
Most dental visits don't look at any of this, you leave feeling clean but without really knowing which microbes are actually driving what's going on underneath.
This test changes that. It tells you exactly which pathogens are present and in what amounts, so we can build a real plan instead of guessing.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- You have bleeding or receding gums
- You have chronic bad breath that brushing does not fix
- You get cavities despite a solid hygiene routine
- You're dealing with ongoing or unresolved health issues and want to see if the mouth could be part of what's being missed
- You want a clear current-state read on the microbial and inflammatory load in your mouth before symptoms get worse
HOW IT WORKS
1. Order your kit. It ships within 2 business days.
2. Collect your saliva sample at home. Less than 30 seconds, completely painless, simple instructions in the box.
3. Drop the prepaid mailer in any UPS location.
4. Receive your personalized report and a 30-minute walkthrough with our team in about 2 weeks.
INCLUDED
- Saliva collection kit and prepaid return mailer
- CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory processing
- Clinician-written report with personalized interpretation
- 30-minute walkthrough with our clinical team
