Oral Microbiome
Saliva Testing
At Collective Health Society, we use the power of science to uncover what’s really happening in your body. Our advanced diagnostic testing—led by Dr. Katie Lee—helps us see beyond what traditional dental x-rays or exams can reveal. Through salivary microbiome testing and a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools, we identify the underlying factors affecting your health so we can create the most effective, personalized treatment plan for you.
Real Results Through Comprehensive Testing
We recently treated a patient who had spent years searching for answers. She experienced neurological symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease, but traditional doctors couldn’t give her a diagnosis.
When she came to our Centennial office, we ran a series of advanced diagnostic tests—including salivary microbiome testing, inflammatory markers, sleep apnea evaluation, and cellular health testing.
Here’s what we discovered:
- Pathogenic bacteria in her mouth were crossing the blood–brain barrier, causing inflammation in her brain.
- She suffered from severe, untreated sleep apnea, limiting oxygen to her brain.
- She also had Lyme disease embedded at the DNA level—something that had gone undetected for years.
Once we uncovered these hidden factors, we developed a customized plan to detoxify her body, treat the pathogens, and restore her health. Within months, her neurological symptoms dramatically improved. This is what makes our diagnostic process so powerful: we don’t just look at your teeth—we look at you as a whole person.

How Does Oral Health Affect the Rest of the Body?
Your mouth is the mirror of your body. The bacteria that live there tell a powerful story about your overall wellness—and those microscopic organisms can reveal what’s happening throughout your entire system.
Our salivary microbiome testing allows us to identify which bacteria are living in your mouth and how they may be connected to chronic conditions or symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or autoimmune responses. Since not all bacteria are the same—and not all respond to the same treatments—testing allows us to take a truly targeted approach.
When combined with other advanced diagnostic tools, we can see what standard dental exams cannot: the early signs of imbalance, inflammation, and disease that may be impacting your energy, immune function, and long-term health.
Benefits of
Saliva Testing & Advanced Diagnostics
Precise Identification of Hidden Issues
Salivary microbiome testing helps us detect bacteria, viruses, or pathogens that traditional dental exams can’t see. This allows us to connect your oral environment with systemic symptoms and diseases—helping us uncover the true “why” behind your health concerns.
Targeted, Personalized Treatment Plans
Because every patient’s microbiome is unique, we customize each treatment plan. Once we know which bacteria are present and how they’re affecting your body, we can choose specific therapies—such as ozone, nutrition, or detoxification—to restore balance and help you feel better, faster.
Early Detection of Systemic Disease
Our diagnostics help identify warning signs for conditions like cardiovascular inflammation, autoimmune dysfunction, sleep apnea, or neurological issues long before they become severe. Early detection means prevention—and prevention means better long-term health outcomes.
Salivary Microbiome Testing
We collect a small saliva sample to analyze the bacterial DNA present in your mouth. This gives us a detailed snapshot of your microbiome and its connection to whole-body health. Once we understand your bacterial profile, we can treat oral inflammation, chronic gum issues, and systemic imbalances at the source.
Inflammatory Biomarker Testing
We evaluate inflammation levels that may indicate disease activity. By identifying these biomarkers early, we can help reduce your risk of systemic complications and tailor treatment to promote long-term healing.
Sleep Apnea & Airway Studies
Sleep is critical to healing. Through airway and sleep evaluations, we identify oxygen restriction or interrupted sleep patterns that may be contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, or cardiovascular issues.
Cellular Health & Toxicity Testing
Our cellular testing helps us evaluate oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, and toxin load—essential information for patients struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or chronic inflammation.
Digital Imaging & Functional Assessments
We combine 3D imaging and functional diagnostics to get a full picture of how your oral and systemic systems are working together. This helps us plan minimally invasive, effective, and holistic treatments.
The Treatment
Process
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
Your first visit lasts 90–120 minutes and begins with an in-depth conversation with Dr. Katie Lee about your medical, dental, and personal history. We take the time to understand your symptoms, environment, and goals.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
We’ll perform non-invasive tests such as salivary microbiome analysis, airway and sleep evaluations, and cellular health screenings to uncover what’s truly going on beneath the surface.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Once we analyze your test results, we’ll create a customized plan that addresses root causes, reduces inflammation, and supports your long-term wellness—from dental therapies to nutritional support.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Healing is a journey. We track your progress and retest as needed to ensure that your treatments are effective and that your health continues to improve over time.
