Preparing for your test

Before collecting: No fasting. Follow the supplied kit and your dental professional’s timing after oral care, dental treatment or antibiotics; do not stop prescribed medication for testing without professional advice.

About Dentulu

Dentulu sells OralDNA saliva kits through its dental platform. The selected tests measure a defined set of oral bacteria rather than surveying every microbe in the mouth. The laboratory report can support a conversation with a dentist about gum health.

FAQs

How do MyPerioPath and Alert 2 differ?

Both report selected oral bacteria. Alert 2 adds an inherited IL-6 variant; it does not measure the IL-6 protein.

Does the test include cavity or yeast screening?

Cavity-associated bacteria, Candida and HPV are separate test selections. The selected MyPerioPath bacterial panel focuses on periodontal findings.
