Saliva & Bacteria Testing: A Simple Step Toward Better Dental Wellness

At Avery Dental Wellness in Dublin, Ohio, we believe that prevention is the heart of great dentistry. Led by Dr. Emily Dennison, DDS, our team takes a personalized, whole-health approach to oral care—one that goes beyond “fixing teeth” to focus on long-term wellness. One of the unique tools we use is saliva and bacteria testing, a quick, non-invasive way to learn more about your oral health.

What Is Saliva/Bacteria Testing?

Saliva testing involves collecting a small sample of your saliva and analyzing it for harmful bacteria and markers of disease. This painless test gives us insight into your risk for gum disease, cavities and other oral health issues—before they cause noticeable problems.

Why Is It Important?

Your mouth is the gateway to your overall health. Harmful bacteria linked to gum disease have been connected to conditions like diabetes, heart disease and even Alzheimer’s. By identifying bacteria early, we can create personalized treatment plans and protect more than just your smile.

Preventative Care at Avery Dental Wellness

Dr. Dennison and our team are passionate about helping patients stay ahead of problems with a preventative approach. From routine dental checkups and halitosis (bad breath) treatment to proactive dental wellness solutions, we focus on uncovering root causes rather than quick fixes.

A Friendlier, Healthier Dental Experience

Many patients tell us that visiting Avery Dental Wellness doesn’t feel like going to the dentist—it feels like a fresh start. With a spa-like atmosphere, modern technology and a gentle, judgment-free philosophy, our goal is to keep you comfortable while protecting your smile and overall health.
