Over my career, I have cared for thousands of patients and the “The Spit Test” is by far one of the best screenings I have ever seen. The truth is we all need a healthy oral microbiome, just like we need a healthy gut microbiome.  

In my practice caring for patients that are trying to prevent their next heart attack (be it their first or second) the spit test is one of the very first tests I use to get an accurate picture of what is going one with their health.  And… if they have specific pathogens (“bad bugs” as we like to say) or are out of balance, we start treating them right away.  These bad bugs are a TOP REASON why someone has had a heart attack or is at risk for a future heart attack.  We MUST get their oral microbiome back in balance ASAP!

Often times dangerous organisms (bacteria, viruses, and yeast) are hiding in your mouth, even if you have a consistent oral care regimen at home and get excellent check-ups at the dental office. 

The only way to know if your mouth is putting your body at risk is to spit in a tube and send it to the lab.  Your spit (saliva) will be tested for both “good” and “bad” organisms. 

Using the results from this test, there are steps you can follow to or eliminate unhealthy findings and increase the healthy organisms in your mouth. 

If you have not found answers to your health concerns and/or if you want to feel your very best for a very, very long time, get your Spit Test screening today.
