Oral Balance Test: Integrative & Longevity report
Written for the functional work-up, from one saliva sample: each score against our reference set, the trend since the last test, systemic research associations and conditional considerations.
Each consideration shows the finding behind it, and every systemic association carries its evidence label: research associations, not a diagnosis or a personal risk score.
Sample reports use synthetic patient data.
Sample reports for our periodontal-focused panels
What the report measures
-
Oral Balance Score (0-100)
The overall balance of the oral microbiome.
-
Protective Capacity
The strength of the beneficial bacterial community.
-
Disruptive Pressure
The overall load of harmful bacteria.
-
Nitric Oxide System
Nitrate-reducing capacity, measured at the narG functional gene, so it reflects organisms that are present and functionally capable, not just present.
-
Periodontal Risk Score (1-5)
A pattern-based risk classification across 11 microbial patterns.
Every report also covers Candida and caries risk, and surfaces up to four prioritized clinical focus areas.
Pricing

Questions practitioners ask
When are we billed?
When a sample is registered and submitted. Never for kits.
How fast are results?
Two business days from when the sample reaches our lab.
How should I use the results?
As adjunctive insight into the oral microbiome, alongside your other clinical data. The report ranks findings by clinical weight for each patient.
Does this replace a dental exam?
No. Results are adjunctive and support, not replace, clinical judgment. Patients with significant periodontal findings should be seen by a dental professional.
Who runs the testing?
Our own laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma. It is CLIA-certified and COLA-accredited for high-complexity testing, and runs validated qPCR.
Do you accept specimens from New York?
Not for the Oral Balance Test at this time.
