Salivary Diagnostics

Not all bacteria are equal — and brushing alone does not fix a bacterial imbalance. OralDNA testing uses a simple saliva swab to identify and quantify the specific pathogenic bacteria associated with periodontal disease, chronic inflammation, bone loss, and systemic health risk.

• Identifies bacteria linked to gum disease, bone loss, and cardiovascular risk

• Reveals why two patients with identical X-rays can have completely different outcomes

• Enables personalised treatment: ozone therapy, targeted antimicrobials, or oral probiotics

• Allows measurable progress tracking over time — not guesswork

Two patients can look clinically identical and have completely different bacterial profiles. OralDNA reveals the biology that standard exams cannot see.

Nitric oxide (NO) is critical for blood flow, immune response, tissue healing, and cardiovascular health. Low nitric oxide levels are commonly linked to chronic gum inflammation, poor wound healing after dental procedures, and increased systemic disease risk.

• Identifies suppressed nitric oxide production from gum disease or aggressive mouthwash use

• Supports vascular and immune health monitoring

• Informs hygiene protocol adjustments — some antiseptic products actively reduce NO

• Enables coordinated care with wellness-focused physicians when systemic risk is identified

Aggressive antiseptic mouthwashes and untreated gum disease can both destroy nitric oxide production. We test it so we can protect it.

If your mouth is consistently acidic, everything fails faster — enamel, bonding, crowns, implants, and veneers. Salivary pH testing measures how frequently and how long your mouth remains in an acidic state after eating, drinking, stress, reflux, or frequent snacking.

• Identifies chronic acidity patterns that X-rays and visual exams cannot reveal

• Predicts high risk for cavities, enamel erosion, sensitivity, and restoration failure

• Directly relevant for patients investing in cosmetic dentistry — a key protector of that investment

• We don't just test pH — we teach you exactly how to control it through diet and protocol adjustments

Below pH 5.5, tooth enamel begins to dissolve. A chronically acidic oral environment is the silent enemy of every crown, veneer, and implant we place.

Seeing is believing — and nothing builds understanding and commitment like watching bacteria move in real time. Using high-magnification microscopy, we examine plaque and saliva samples to identify bacterial activity, evaluate biofilm behaviour, and show you exactly what is happening in your mouth.

• Identifies bacterial motility and pathogenic activity in live samples

• Evaluates biofilm thickness and structure — a direct indicator of periodontal risk

• Turns abstract risk data into undeniable, visible reality for patient

• Often the moment that motivates genuine, lasting compliance with treatment and hygiene 

This is often the moment everything clicks for patients. It turns "you have some bacteria" into a visual reality that changes behaviour.
