At Bloom Holistic Dentistry in Atlanta, we prioritize overall health and wellness, including the health of your microbiome. The microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live in and on your body, including your mouth. A healthy microbiome is essential for overall health, as it helps with digestion, immunity, and even mental health. We offer microbiome testing using saliva samples to provide valuable insight into the health of your oral microbiome.
What is Microbiome Testing?
Microbiome testing is a non-invasive test that analyzes the DNA of the microorganisms in your saliva sample. By examining the genetic material, we can identify the different types of bacteria present in your mouth and determine their relative abundance. This information provides insight into the overall health of your oral microbiome and can help identify any imbalances or dysbiosis.
Why Choose Saliva Testing?
Saliva testing is a simple and convenient method for analyzing the microbiome. It is non-invasive, painless, and does not require any special preparation or equipment. Additionally, saliva testing is an accurate way to assess the health of the oral microbiome, as the microorganisms present in the mouth are reflected in the saliva.
Benefits of Microbiome Testing
Microbiome testing provides valuable information about the health of your oral microbiome. By identifying the types and relative abundance of bacteria present, we can determine if there are any imbalances or dysbiosis that may be contributing to oral health issues. This information can be used to develop a personalized treatment plan to restore balance and improve overall health.
What Can Microbiome Testing Identify?
Microbiome testing can identify a wide range of oral health issues, including gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. It can also identify systemic health issues that may be related to oral health, such as heart disease and diabetes. By identifying these issues early, we can develop a proactive approach to treatment and prevent more serious health issues down the line.
