You ordered the saliva test. The report came back. Now the real questions begin:
- What do these pathogens mean?
- Which bacteria matter most?
- When do I recommend biofilm disruption, probiotics, antimicrobials, or retesting?
- How do I explain this to the patient without overwhelming them?
- How do I turn a lab report into a treatment plan the whole team can follow?
In this one-hour webinar, Lora Hooper, BSDH, RDH, EFDA, The Saliva Hacker™, will introduce a practical framework for turning saliva test results into confident clinical decisions.
What you will walk away with:
- Interpret key salivary pathogen patterns to identify dominant microbial drivers.
- Translate saliva test results into personalized clinical next steps.
- Communicate saliva test findings with confidence and patient-friendly language.
This session is a preview for the MDDS two-day, hands-on course, Data to Decisions: Saliva & Glucose-Guided Treatment Planning, where dental teams will learn how to interpret real data, connect saliva and glucose findings and build personalized treatment protocols on October 16 - 17, 2026.
