Your saliva contains valuable information about your oral health and overall wellness. Saliva testing helps identify harmful bacteria, inflammation, and other risk factors-allowing us to create a more personalized treatment plan just for you.
Saliva testing is a quick, non-invasive diagnostic tool that analyzes your saliva to identify bacteria and other indicators that affect your oral health. The results help us better understand your individual risk factors and create a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Your saliva sample is collected during your appointment.
Rinse with a special solution, then spit into the collection tube. The process only takes a few minutes.
Our team prepares and sends your sample to the laboratory for analysis.
Once your results are ready, we'll review them with you and discuss personalized recommendations for your oral health.
Saliva testing is important because it provides information that can’t always be seen during a routine dental exam. Your saliva contains biomarkers that can help identify disease-causing bacteria, inflammation, and other risk factors affecting both your oral and overall health.
Some of the benefits of saliva testing include:
Detects harmful bacteria associated with gum disease and tooth decay.
Identifies inflammation early, often before symptoms become noticeable.
Creates personalized treatment plans based on your unique oral health.
Monitors treatment progress to see how well therapies are working.
Supports overall health, as oral bacteria and inflammation have been linked to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and other systemic health concerns.
