Consider the Oral Microbiome Test for a general health check in patients over 2 years old or when assessing risk factors and symptoms of dental caries, gum disease (plaque, gingivitis, periodontitis), halitosis, and oral thrush. This test is also valuable for evaluating the oral microbiome's impact on overall health, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.

You will be asked to fill out a patient form at checkout which will give us more information on your symptoms, current medications and supplement intake.

Test turnaround time - approx 3 weeks.

  • Lab test results & personalised written report = £415

  • Lab test results & 30 minute zoom call = £435

What It Measures

The test detects 700 oral microbes, including:

  • 25 microbes linked to plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease, and inflammation.

  • 16 opportunistic pathogens associated with oral and systemic health concerns.

  • Yeasts implicated in oral thrush.

  • Bacteria with beneficial properties 

Q. How do you support me with my results?

In ADDITION to your lab report we provide the following options which are INCLUDED in the package prices;

A) Follow up personalised written report produced by our clinical team (click HERE for team info) highlighting dietary and lifestyle advice plus links to supplement protocols, specific doses and any further testing requirements included. We use the patient information you provide us at checkout along with your results to compile personalised action points for you.

OR

B) Follow up 30-minute video call to discuss your results and answer any questions you have. Once the lab has completed your results you will be sent these via email with a link to book a time and day online. You will also then be given the option to upgrade your 30-minute call to a 45-minute call for an additional £30 if you wish. During the call your practitioner will explain the results in more detail and what they mean for you.

C) Both Zoom call and written report with personalised next steps (Zoom call is first and written report follows).


The Oral Microbiome Test provides a detailed analysis of bacteria, archaea, and fungi in the mouth, essential for oral and overall health. Using advanced shotgun sequencing, it evaluates a saliva sample, identifying up to 700 microbes. It reports on 25 potential pathogens linked to plaque, cavities, gum disease, and inflammation, as well as 16 opportunistic taxa, highlighting patterns associated with specific health risks. Only detected microbes are reported, focusing on the balance of beneficial (commensal) and harmful (pathogenic)microbes. Unlike gut or vaginal microbiomes, where diversity is linked to health, oral health depends more on microbial balance than diversity, so diversity metrics are excluded. This test helps assess functional capabilities and the oral microbiome's role in health.

Emerging research underscores the vital link between oral and overall health. Conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even cognitive decline can have ties to the oral microbiome. 

Once ordered, you will receive your test kit via Royal Mail in 2-3 days. This is a self test kit that can be done at home. Follow the instructions for packaging your sample and registering your test online, and use the included prepaid envelope to return your sample by post.
