About this test

The Oral Microbiome is the collection of microorganisms - mostly bacteria - that live in your mouth, and it has an important influence on both oral and overall health. The oral environment is very complex, with different micro-environments around the teeth, gums, and tongue. This test uses a saliva sample which is the easiest to collect and provides excellent information about the overall oral microbiome. This report includes multiple analyses of your oral microbiome - looking at the types and amounts of beneficial (good) and pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, important functional capabilities of the microbiome, and patterns associated with specific health risks.
