Your results live in your OraPath account
When your report is ready, you’ll get an email — and it’ll be waiting in your private patient portal, yours to read anytime and share with your dentist.
Your Balance Report measures bacteria in your saliva that research links to cavities and gum disease. It isn’t a diagnosis, it can’t tell you whether you have a condition, and it isn’t a substitute for a dental exam. It’s meant to be reviewed by a dental professional alongside an examination and your history — bring it to your next appointment rather than acting on it alone.
Run in our own lab
Every test runs in our own CLIA- and COLA-accredited lab in Norman, Oklahoma.

Grounded in the literature
