Microbiome Test Kit

Oral Microbiome Test

£180.00

Your mouth hosts a complex microbial ecosystem that influences far more than teeth and gums. While some bacteria help protect against decay and gum disease, others are linked to issues such as bad breath, cavities, and inflammation. Emerging research shows your oral microbiome is also connected to heart health, immune function, and chronic disease risk.

The Phenome Longevity Oral Microbiome Test uses a simple saliva sample to analyse the complete microbial landscape in your mouth. Using advanced metagenomic sequencing, we identify both protective and harmful species. Your personalised report delivers clinically relevant insights and recommendations to support gum health, reduce dysbiosis, and strengthen the connection between oral and systemic health.

Why You Should Get Your Oral Microbiome Tested

Your mouth is home to more than 700 species of bacteria that constantly interact with your immune system, teeth, and even your gut. A balanced oral microbiome protects against cavities, gum inflammation, and bad breath while supporting heart and brain health.

When this balance shifts, harmful bacteria can thrive, contributing not only to oral conditions but also to systemic ones such as diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory disease. Testing your oral microbiome helps identify these imbalances early and provides precise guidance for restoring microbial harmony.

How It Works

The Oral Microbiome Test is quick, non-invasive, and can be done from home. Your kit includes a sterile saliva collection tool. After collecting your sample, register it on the Phenome Portal and send it back to our certified laboratory using the prepaid return envelope.

Our laboratory performs advanced metagenomic sequencing to identify and measure the bacteria present in your saliva. Using bioinformatics analysis, we translate this data into meaningful health insights. Within two to three weeks, your interactive report will be available through your secure Phenome Longevity account.

What Is Included in Your Oral Microbiome Test Report

Your Oral Microbiome Test Report analyses bacterial balance, diversity, and the presence of key species associated with oral and systemic health. Each section of the report expands to help you interpret your results clearly and confidently.

Cover of an Oral Microbiome Report from Phenome Longevity with blue and white design.
Overview Summary

A snapshot of your oral microbial balance and overall health score, compared to reference values from healthy populations.

Microbial Composition

Analysis of major bacterial phyla such as Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Fusobacteria, showing how your mouth’s bacterial profile compares to optimal ranges.

Richness and Diversity

Measures how many different bacterial species exist in your oral microbiome and how evenly they are distributed. A diverse microbiome protects against inflammation and disease.

Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes Ratio

A marker of microbial equilibrium. Imbalances in this ratio have been linked to weight regulation, metabolism, and oral inflammation.

Key Oral Health Indicators

Results on specific bacteria related to common oral conditions including caries, gingivitis, halitosis, and periodontitis.

Oral–Systemic Health Connections

Analysis of bacterial groups associated with systemic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and inflammatory disorders.

Inflammatory Potential

Assessment of bacteria involved in inflammation and immune response within the mouth and throughout the body.

Protective and Harmful Species

Identification of beneficial bacteria that defend oral health and potential pathogens that may contribute to disease risk.

Personalised Recommendations

Targeted guidance on oral hygiene, diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices to help you restore balance and improve oral and systemic wellbeing.

Bacteria Dictionary

Your report includes a bacteria dictionary that explains the most important bacterial species and their roles in your oral and systemic health.

Real People Real Stories

We are grateful to everyone who shared their journey with us. Their honesty reminds us why understanding our biology matters, because behind every test result there is a story of someone finally getting the answers they have been looking for.

I had no major issues, but I did this out of curiosity and ended up learning a lot about how bacteria in the mouth can affect energy and focus. It’s strange how much it connects to everything else. I’ve been more mindful since.
— Chloe S, 33
I always had this weird bad taste in my mouth, even though I brushed all the time. I never thought bacteria could be behind it. The test showed me what was really happening, and after making a few changes, my mouth actually feels fresh again for the first time in years.
— Daniel K, 38
I was dealing with bleeding gums and thought it was just stress. The results made me realise my oral health was linked to other parts of my body too. It made me take my routine seriously, and now my gums don’t bleed at all.
— Aisha N, 27
