Identify the specific bacteria, viruses, and genetic markers affecting your oral and systemic health with the most comprehensive oral microbiome testing available.
For over 15 years, OralDNA® Labs has been the leader in salivary diagnostics, helping thousands of patients and healthcare providers identify the root causes of oral disease.
Our comprehensive testing goes beyond traditional dental examinations to reveal the hidden pathogens and genetic factors that impact not just your oral health, but your entire body.
Using advanced qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) technology, OralDNA® tests provide precise identification and quantification of oral pathogens at levels traditional culture methods cannot detect. This molecular-level insight enables truly personalized treatment planning.
Your mouth harbors over 700 species of bacteria. While many are beneficial, specific pathogenic bacteria have been scientifically linked to:
Oral pathogens found in arterial plaque
Bidirectional relationship with periodontal disease
Increased risk of preterm birth
P. gingivalis found in brain tissue
Shared inflammatory pathways
Aspiration of oral bacteria
Traditional dental exams can’t identify:
Which specific bacteria are causing your gum disease
Your genetic predisposition to inflammation
Detected before symptoms appear
Matched to your specific pathogens
Screening for HPV-related oral cancer
OralDNA® testing fills these critical gaps in diagnosis.
What it tests: 11 specific periodontal pathogens
Key pathogens:
Who should test:
Bleeding gums or deep pocketsPersistent bad breathBefore extensive dental workSystemic inflammatory conditionsAnnual monitoringResults include: Pathogen levels, risk score, antibiotic guidance
What it tests: 51 types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Identifies:
High-risk types (16, 18, etc.)Low-risk typesMultiple infectionsWho should test:
Adults over 30Multiple partners or HPV historyOral lesionsImmunocompromisedWhy it matters: HPV-related oral cancers are up 225%
What it tests: 9 Candida species
Species: C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis + 6 more
Who should test:

Targeted antibiotic therapy reduced my pocket depths from 7mm to 3mm in just 3 months.”

“My dentist used Celsus One before my implants. Knowing I had high inflammatory genes, we took extra precautions. 5 years later, my implants are perfect!”

“MyPerioPath found Fn bacteria causing my halitosis. After specific treatment, my confidence is back. I wish I’d tested sooner!”
