At Grove Health Dental we offer a deeper look into your oral microbiome utilizing saliva testing to get to the root-cause of cavities, periodontal disease and other specific pathology. This service allows us to target common dental issues with personalized and specific treatment modalities.

Saliva testing evaluates for specific bacteria, viruses, and fungi that may be the root-cause for recurring cavities and oral infections. It can also provide us with a risk profile for more serious conditions, such as HPV/oral cancers, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, and pregnancy complications. We will provide you with a detailed report of your salivary markers and personalized treatment or medication/supplement recommendations to support your oral microbiome along with a personalized plan for how often our team should see you for dental exams and periodontal maintenance or dental cleaning appointments.

Through personalized, prevention-focused care and collaboration with other healthcare providers when appropriate, we strive to support balanced saliva, healthy breathing and sleeping, comfortable function, and optimal oral hygiene habits as they all translate to oral and whole-body wellness.
