Your Mouth Holds the Clues to Your Overall Health
Who Is This Test For?
Individuals with ongoing oral health concerns — such as cavities, gum inflammation, halitosis, or tooth sensitivity.
Patients with chronic conditions — where oral health may play a role in systemic inflammation or disease progression.
Individuals preparing for dental procedures — seeking a deeper understanding of their oral microbiome prior to treatment.
Those interested in preventive health — aiming to identify microbiome imbalances before symptoms arise.
Researchers or healthcare professionals — looking for comprehensive, microbiome-based insights to support clinical decisions.
Microbial Composition
What we measure:
We analyse the relative abundance of key bacterial phyla in your mouth and compare them with healthy reference ranges. This includes:
– Often involved in energy metabolism and includes beneficial species like Streptococcus.
– Play a role in breaking down complex molecules, but some species may be linked to inflammation.
– A diverse group that includes both harmless and potentially pathogenic bacteria.
– Important for oral health; includes Actinomyces, known for plaque formation.
– Associated with periodontal health and inflammation control.
Microbial Richness, Diversity & Evenness
What we measure:
These indices give a picture of how balanced and resilient your oral microbiome is.
– The total number of different bacterial species detected in your sample. A higher richness is typically associated with better immune support and oral resilience.
– Measures both the number and abundance of bacterial species. Greater diversity supports stability and resistance to disease.
– Assesses how evenly your bacteria are distributed. A balanced community helps prevent any single harmful species from dominating.
Oral Health Risk Indicators
What we screen for:
We evaluate the presence of microbial genera and species associated with common oral health conditions:
1. Gingivitis Risk
- Bacteria measured include:
- Peptostreptococcus (increased level may raise risk)
- Treponema denticola
- Fusobacterium nucleatum
- Protective species like Streptococcus sanguinis and Actinomyces
2. Periodontitis Risk
Key bacteria include:
- Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Tannerella forsythia
- Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
- Dialister invisus and Treponema denticola
3. Dental Caries (Cavities)
Species analysed:
- Streptococcus mutans
- Streptococcus sobrinus
- Selenomonas spp.
- Scardovia wiggsiae
- Protective species like Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis
4. Halitosis (Bad Breath)
Indicators include:
- Solobacterium moorei (increased)
- Treponema denticolaFusobacterium nucleatum
Systemic Health Correlations
What we explore:
Your oral microbiome may offer early clues about other health risks.
1. Type 2 Diabetes
Presence of bacteria like:
- Treponema denticola (linked to increased risk)
- Actinomyces and Veillonella (potentially protective)
2. Hypertension
Measured species include:
- Veillonella, Prevotella, and Streptococcus
- Haemophilus and Leptotrichia (nitrate-reducing, potentially protective)
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
Associated with:
- Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Alloprevotella tannerae
- Prevotella and Veillonella (increased)
4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Indicators include:
- Fusobacterium, Campylobacter, and Haemophilus
- Streptococcus and Bacteroides (potentially protective)
5. Mental Health Links
Includes correlations with:
- Mitsuokella, Veillonella, Neisseria (increased in depressive patterns)
Associations with mood regulation and immune modulation.
6. Chronic Respiratory Health (COPD & Inflammation)
Bacteria analysed:
- Haemophilus, Catonella, Moraxella
- Protective genera like Veillonella and Prevotella
