About
Oral Health Intelligence is Viome's at-home saliva test for oral microbiome activity. The kit runs through Viome's CLIA-certified Bothell lab and returns in 2-3 weeks with 16 oral-health scores, including dental health, gum health, breath odor, oral pathogen activity, inflammatory pathways, and cavity-promoting microbes. It is designed for ages 7+ and can feed Viome's optional oral-biotic lozenge, toothpaste, and gel subscription.
Results are delivered through the Viome App for self-review. Users who want clinical context can share the report with a dentist, physician, or other clinician.
What to Know
Signature approach
The test reads RNA activity in the oral microbiome, then turns that activity into oral-health scores and recommendations. Food guidance and oral-biotic recommendations sit beside the scores, so the report connects gum, breath, and cavity-pathway signals to concrete next steps inside the Viome App.
What sets it apart
- Oral microbiome focus. The panel is built for saliva-based oral health signals, not a general gut report.
- RNA activity readout. Viome looks at gene expression from oral microbes and human cells.
- Oral-biotic path. Results can feed personalized lozenges, toothpaste, and gel through the Oral Health Solutions subscription.
Before You Order
- Plan your review. Results arrive in the Viome App; share them with a dentist or clinician if you want oral-health context.
- Use it alongside dental care. This is an oral microbiome activity report, not a replacement for dental exam, imaging, or treatment.
- Check the subscription fit. Oral Health Solutions adds personalized oral biotics and carries a 4-month minimum.
- Confirm payment details. Insurance is not accepted; HSA/FSA via Truemed is advertised for the kit.

Reference ranges methodology
Viome reads gene expression of oral microbes and human cells in the saliva sample, then translates microbial pathway activity into 16 oral-health scores. Scores reflect activity in the oral microbiome, not a static organism inventory.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Oral Health Intelligence test measure?
It returns 16 oral-health scores from a saliva sample, including Dental Health, Gum Health, Breath Odor, Oral Pathogen Activity, Oral Inflammatory Pathways, and Cavity Promoting Microbes. Scores reflect microbial pathway activity.
How is the sample collected?
You collect saliva at home and return the sample to Viome's CLIA-certified Bothell lab in a prepaid mailer.
How long does it take to get results?
Results return in 2-3 weeks through the Viome App, alongside personalized food and oral-biotic recommendations.
What does it cost?
$259/mo for the one-time kit, or $109/mo for Oral Health Solutions, which bundles the test with personalized oral lozenges plus toothpaste and gel. The subscription has a 4-month minimum.
Is it covered by insurance?
Viome is self-pay only. The test is advertised as HSA/FSA eligible via Truemed.
Who is it for?
It is designed for ages 7 and up. Common reasons include gum bleeding or soreness, plaque buildup, persistent bad breath, mouth sores, dry mouth, or wanting a baseline read on the oral microbiome.
How is this different from a DNA-based oral test?
DNA tests identify which organisms are present. Viome's RNA-based method reads gene expression from oral microbes and human cells, giving an activity snapshot.
