How it Works
What the Oral Microbiome Test Analyses
The Oral Microbiome Test provides a comprehensive analysis of the microorganisms in your mouth by examining a wide range of key bacteria and fungi to identify potential imbalances and pathogens. Here's what it looks for:
Collapsible content
Bacteria
Beneficial, commensal, dysbiotic, and pathogenic bacteria, including natural inhibitors and probiotics.
Yeasts & Fungi
Presence of Candida and other yeasts.
Pathogenic Microorganisms
Harmful bacteria, viruses, or fungi that can cause infections and inflammation in the mouth. Their presence can lead to issues like gum disease, cavities, and even contribute to systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes if they enter the bloodstream.
Opportunistic Bacteria
Normally harmless microbes that can become problematic when the natural balance of the oral microbiome is disrupted. When they overgrow, they can trigger infections, worsen inflammation, and weaken the body's first line of defence against disease.
Inflammatory Markers related to Oral Dysbiosis
Inflammatory markers indicate that the immune system is responding to an imbalance, infection, or irritation within the mouth. Elevated levels of these markers can suggest the presence of oral dysbiosis, a state where harmful microbes outweigh beneficial ones, potentially impacting both oral and overall health.
What You Will Receive
Your personalised Oral Microbiome Test report provides a detailed 2-page summary of your oral health.
The first page offers a clear, visual breakdown of key findings, highlighting levels of beneficial bacteria, opportunistic bacteria, pathogenic organisms, and fungi. The second page provides expert commentary on your results, explaining what each finding means for your oral and overall health.
