The science of a
healthy smile

The science of a healthy smile

Our mouths are home to trillions of microbes, known as our oral microbiome. It is the second most diverse habitat on the human body, with more than 700 different species of bacteria identified. Decades of research have shown that most are beneficial and keep us healthy, but others are harmful and cause diseases like cavities and gum disease.

The good, the
bad, and the ugly

There are different types of bacteria in our mouth that play critical roles in keeping us healthy and functioning at our best— these are the "good" ones.

Bad bacteria in our mouths convert sugar from the foods and drinks we consume into acid that erodes our teeth and the surrounding gums. An acidic environment in our mouth supports plaque buildup, a sticky coating on our teeth called biofilm. As plaque hardens on and around our teeth, it becomes tartar, weakening our teeth and gums.

The bad bacteria in our oral cavity can travel throughout the rest of our body. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and oral bacteria have been associated with a higher risk for systemic conditions including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and poor pregnancy outcomes.

Improve your health in a personalized way

SZA Longevity Oral Health Test will help you understand, measure, and improve your oral health. Our test identifies and measures the good bacteria in your saliva that contribute to better oral health, in addition the ones that increase your risk for conditions including cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

We match your unique risk profile with our recommendations to help optimize your health. br You can take control of your oral health with personalized diet, hygiene, and product recommendations focused on helping your microbial heroes and eliminating the villains.

We are using the
high-end technology

Metagenomic sequencing (shotgun metagenomics) is the technique used by SZA Longevity. It is a comprehensive and the most effective way to provide a complete picture of the microorganisms within the gut and their functional potential. This technique can detect very low abundance members of the microbial community that may be missed using other methods and provides information about the metabolic processes and functions present within a microbial community.
