Additional information
Oral microbiome test: what your bacteria say about your oral health
Your mouth is home to billions of bacteria. Their balance plays an important role in the health of your teeth and gums. Adnà’s oral microbiome test analyzes these bacteria by sequencing their DNA, from a simple sample collected at home. You receive your report as a PDF by email 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your sample.
This test does not analyze your genes: it analyzes the DNA of the micro-organisms living in your mouth.
What your report reveals
- Your bacterial profile. The presence and proportion of the main families of bacteria, such as streptococci, lactobacilli or Haemophilus.
- Possible imbalances. Differences from a balanced microbiome, and their known links with issues such as cavities or gum disease (periodontitis).
- Practical pointers. Points to discuss with your dentist or dental hygienist and to adjust your habits.
Why look at your oral microbiome?
The oral microbiome changes with diet, hygiene, smoking or certain medications. An imbalance can contribute to dental problems, and research is increasingly looking at its links with overall health. Unlike your genes, your microbiome changes over time: retesting later lets you measure the effect of new habits.
How much does the test cost?
The oral microbiome test costs $219. The price includes the kit, the prepaid return label, the lab analysis and the report. There are no hidden fees.
How the test works, step by step
- Order online. Your kit arrives within 2 to 3 business days.
- Collect your sample following the kit instructions. Our user guide shows you each step.
- Send the sample back with the prepaid return label included in your kit.
- Get your report by email, as a PDF, 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your sample.
Important notice
This test is not a diagnostic tool. It does not replace an examination by your dentist or doctor, which remains essential to detect and treat an oral health problem.

Questions?
We offer several at-home microbiome tests to meet different needs:
• Gut microbiome test: it analyzes the microorganisms in your gut and provides personalized recommendations on your diet, lifestyle and digestive health.
• Oral microbiome test ($219): it analyzes the bacteria in your mouth to assess the balance of your oral flora and give you recommendations to improve your oral health.
Each test targets a different area of the body and serves specific goals. See all our microbiome tests.
It depends on your goals. To better understand your digestive health, choose the gut microbiome test. To assess your oral health, the oral microbiome test is the most appropriate.
The gut microbiome is made up of the microorganisms in your digestive system. It plays an important role in digestion, metabolism and the immune system. The oral microbiome includes the bacteria in your mouth and contributes to the health of your teeth, gums and oral cavity. Each test analyzes a different microbiome and provides tailored recommendations.
Discover our at-home microbiome tests.
A DNA test analyzes your genetic makeup, which remains essentially stable throughout your life. A microbiome test analyzes the microorganisms in your body, whose composition can change with your lifestyle and environment.
The two complement each other: our DNA health tests show your predispositions, while our microbiome tests show the current state of your flora.
A microbiome analysis may be relevant if you have chronic digestive issues, unexplained allergic reactions or persistent skin conditions, or simply to better understand your health and well-being. It can also help if you want to understand the impact of your diet or lifestyle changes on your microbial balance.
If symptoms persist, also talk to a healthcare professional.
Yes. Your diet and lifestyle can have a major impact on the composition and function of your microbiome. The right changes can help support the health of your microbiome and your overall well-being.
A microbiome test lets you measure these effects, before and after your changes.
No, not directly. Even though family members may share certain microbial characteristics, each person has a unique microbiome. The information and recommendations in the report are therefore specific to the person tested.
Any family member who wants to know their microbiome can take their own microbiome test.
Adnà recommends retaking the microbiome test periodically, especially after major changes in your diet, lifestyle or health. This lets you track how your microbiome evolves and adjust your personalized recommendations.
Yes. The oral microbiome and the gut microbiome are connected, in a system often called the oral-gut axis. The mouth is the entry point to the digestive system, and the microorganisms in the mouth can influence the gut microbiome and digestive health.
The oral microbiome test is a good starting point to assess this flora.
