Testing That Guides Better Care

Not all gum disease is the same, and not everyone carries the same bacteria. By analyzing your saliva, we can see which microbes are present and at what levels, then match your therapy – from Guided Biofilm Therapy to ozone treatment – to what your mouth actually needs. We may also recommend related testing such as vitamin D3 and heavy-metal screening as part of a complete picture of your health.

Saliva testing is also the starting point for understanding your oral microbiome – the community of bacteria in your mouth that influences everything from your gums to your overall health.

Alongside saliva testing, we use phase-contrast microscopy to view your oral bacteria live, on a high-definition screen during your visit, so you can see for yourself what is active in your mouth. Our approach draws on the Larkin Protocol, a framework that pairs microscopy with salivary diagnostics to detect and correct oral dysbiosis (an unhealthy balance of oral bacteria).

The clips below show one patient’s oral microbiome under our microscope, before and after treatment: a field crowded with motile bacteria and spirochetes, then a calmer, healthier balance.
