What Your Results Reveal About Risk & Balance

As part of your Genoral oral health assessment, we screen for a range of microbes linked to inflammation, plaque buildup, and disease progression. This includes both:

• Pathogenic bacteria — microbes shown to directly contribute to dental disease when present at high levels.

• Opportunistic organisms — microbes that typically coexist harmlessly but may disrupt balance if overgrown.

Your results compare your sample to healthy population benchmarks to highlight any organisms that are outside the expected range.

Summary of Findings:

We’ve identified:

• 10 potential pathogens, with 2 above expected levels

• 9 opportunistic microbes, with 2 showing elevated values

⚠️ Elevated values do not necessarily indicate illness.
However, they may signal shifts in your oral microbiome that could increase your risk for gum disease, decay, or inflammation.

What to Do with This Information

These results are not a medical diagnosis, but a tool for deeper understanding and prevention. We encourage you to review your full microbial breakdown in the “Key Microbes” section, where each species is explained in detail—along with why it matters.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, or want to take proactive steps, we recommend speaking with your dentist or healthcare provider to create a tailored care plan.
