Oral Microbiome Testing

The mouth is the gateway to your body. It can tell you so much about your health, not just at the present moment, but also what you should look out for in the future.

Microbes can create molecules that help mineralize teeth and prevent certain micro-organisms from causing cavities. They can also be the cause of various different types of oral diseases including tooth decay, thrush, and burning mouth syndrome. Furthermore, Alzheimer’s, adverse pregnancy outcomes, diabetes, and certain types of cancer have been found to be associated with certain microbes in our mouths.

Our Oral Microbiome Testing checks for certain risk factors that contribute to oral diseases like gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath in addition to identifying whether you are at increased risk for other important health issues like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, oral cancer, and inflammation.

I am very lucky to have partnered with the best in this area who will be analysing your saliva clinical samples  (depending on your other clinical risk factors, areas of concern and medical history) and will be providing a highly personalised oral microbial report based on the latest advancements in DNA sequencing and the science of metagenomics. We then combine this report with all your other findings to give you an overall, personalised, comprehensive picture of your oral health profile and my recommended personalised plan to you in order to not only improve your oral but also your general health.
