What Is Salivary Testing?

Salivary testing is a modern diagnostic tool that analyzes bacteria levels, enzymes, pH, and inflammatory markers in your saliva to reveal important information about your oral and overall health. It helps identify risks for gum disease, cavities, and high-risk pathogens while also providing insight into systemic health concerns linked to oral inflammation. By understanding your saliva’s makeup, your dentist can create a more personalized and preventive treatment plan.

Common Uses in Dentistry

Salivary testing is commonly used to diagnose persistent gum inflammation or bone loss and to identify patients, both children and adults, who have a high risk of cavities. It also guides periodontal therapy, implant planning, and ongoing care for patients with chronic health conditions that affect oral health. This makes it a powerful tool for creating more personalized and proactive dental treatment plans.
