We create beautiful smiles and help those smiling to be as healthy as can be.

Dr. Thompson, founder of Integrative Oral Medicine and the Wellness Dentistry Network, has used salivary diagnostics for over 10 years to help improve the oral and general health of his patients.

Recent research has made it clear that the health of the mouth is directly related to your overall health. You simply cannot be healthy with a sick mouth. An overgrowth of the wrong type of bacteria can be the problem.

Now, without leaving your home, you can learn if you have the most common bacteria, yeast, or viruses that cause gum disease.

Home Dental Exam has removed the barrier of dentist availability and travel by bringing the testing ability to you!
