OraVital Testing in Grimsby, ON
At Olive Street Dental, we offer OraVital DNA microbial testing—a pioneering service few practices provide—to uncover and tackle the hidden bacteria that contribute to gum disease, bad breath, cavities, and even systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
This simple, non-invasive test empowers us to diagnose the root causes and design targeted treatments for long-lasting oral wellness.
Why It Matters
Traditional cleanings are great, but they don’t always catch the specific bacteria hiding beneath the surface. OraVital testing reveals your unique oral microbiome so we can customize care, not just treat symptoms. This translates to:
- Better gum health and fewer infections
- Stronger protection against decay
- Combatting chronic bad breath
- Supporting heart and systemic health
What to Expect
- We swab your saliva, gums, and tongue.
- The sample is analyzed using advanced DNA testing to identify harmful oral pathogens.
- Based on the results, we design a personalized treatment plan—this may include antimicrobial rinses, probiotics, or focused cleanings.
- Follow-up checks ensure the plan is working and adapt it as needed.
Tailored Follow-Up Care
Instead of generic hygiene intervals, many patients discover they need more frequent cleanings—every 3 to 4 months instead of the standard 6—to keep harmful bacteria in check. We also help you maximize your benefits, so your insurance may cover those extra visits.
Complete Oral-Systemic Support
Oral infections can influence overall health. By managing harmful microbes early, OraVital testing supports not only your gums and teeth but also your heart, diabetes control, and respiratory health.
