The oral microbiome is the diverse collection of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes that live naturally in your mouth. While we often focus solely on brushing away germs, these microscopic organisms actually play a vital role in protecting your teeth, supporting your immune system, and influencing your total health.

When your microbial community is in balance, your mouth thrives. When it falls out of balance, it can contribute to gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and even broader systemic health concerns.

Our Oral Microbiome Test gives you a clear window into your unique oral ecosystem. By identifying the exact balance of microbes present, this test empowers you to take control of your health with targeted, proactive care.

When your results are ready, your report will guide you through your unique profile step by step:

• Start with the Overview & Key Findings: Begin by reviewing these sections to quickly identify your most important results and pinpoint key areas worth exploring in more detail.
• Focus on Your Personalised Action Plan: Positioned at the heart of your report, your Action Plan contains tailored recommendations designed specifically to restore and improve your oral health.

How it works: Your actions are custom-crafted based on the precise combination of microbes found in your sample, alongside the health and lifestyle information you provided when registering.

To get the most value out of your results, please keep the following in mind:

• Risk, Not Diagnosis: These results are designed to evaluate risk—they do not provide a medical diagnosis.
• Balance is Key: Healthy, thriving mouths often contain some potentially harmful microbes. What matters most is the balance and proportion of the total microbial community.
• Better Together: This test is designed to be used in combination with a professional oral health examination, not as a replacement for expert dental care.

• Review with Your Practitioner: We encourage you to bring your report to your next visit at The One Clinic Leigh. Together, we can discuss your findings and fine-tune your treatment or daily oral hygiene routine.
• Track Your Progress: We recommend retesting after 3 to 6 months, or after completing a recommended course of action, to measure your progress and see how your microbiome has improved.

Did you know your mouth is home to billions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses? Known as the oral microbiome, this microscopic ecosystem plays a fundamental role not just in your teeth and gums, but in your entire body’s health.

When balanced, your oral microbiome acts as your first line of defence against decay, gum disease, and inflammation. When imbalanced, it can quietly contribute to persistent bad breath, sensitivity, gum bleeding, and systemic wellness concerns.

Standard dental check-ups look at what is happening now. The Bespoke Microbiome Experience looks at why it’s happening—giving you the insights you need to take control of your health.
