This is a test kit that is sent to your home. The kit comes with instructions on how to collect the sample. We recommend that you obtain the sample in the morning before consuming any foods or beverages. The test looks for 11 “usual suspect” oral pathogens.

Even if you have no problems with your gums and teeth you may still have a substantial burden of oral pathogens. Some of these oral pathogens are classified as “spirochetes,” which are the same class of organism that causes Lyme disease. Common sources of oral pathogens in your mouth include:

  1. Pockets or cavitations, some of which are due to the removal of wisdom teeth.
  2. Root canals
  3. Other dental surgeries
  4. Improper dental care
  5. High carbohydrate diets

 

Research

Associations between oral and systemic health are ancient. Oral opportunistic bacteria, particularly, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, have recently been deviated from their traditional roles and arguably ascended to central players based on their participations in complex co-dependent mechanisms of diverse systemic chronic diseases risk and pathogenesis, including cancers, rheumatoid-arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.
