The EverBiome is a salivary diagnostic test, priced at $300, that identifies the specific bacteria behind gum disease and measures how much of each is present. At EverWhite in Brentwood, Los Angeles, we use the MyPerioPath® test from OralDNA Labs, so your gum care can be matched to what’s actually in your mouth.
How the test works
The EverBiome uses a simple oral rinse. You swish a small amount of saline and spit into a collection tube. There are no needles and nothing invasive, and it takes just a few minutes. Your sample is sent to OralDNA Labs for analysis.
What it measures
The test screens for 11 bacteria linked to periodontal (gum) disease and groups them by risk:
- High risk: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola
- Moderate risk: Eubacterium nodatum, Fusobacterium nucleatum/periodonticum, Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus and Peptostreptococcus (Micromonas) micros
- Low risk: Eikenella corrodens and Capnocytophaga species
Why test instead of guessing?
Two people with similar-looking gums can have very different bacteria. Knowing which bacteria are present, and in what amounts, lets Dr. Zakhor personalize your care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s an early-warning tool that can flag risk before it shows up as visible problems.
Your gums and your overall health
Research has linked the bacteria behind gum disease to wider health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Understanding your oral bacteria is one more way to take a proactive approach to your health.
Tracking your progress
After treatment, or once a year, a follow-up test produces a MyPerioProgress® report showing how your bacteria levels have changed, so you can see whether your care is working.
Who The EverBiome is for
- Anyone whose gums bleed or feel tender
- People with a family history of gum disease
- Anyone who wants a baseline for their oral health
