Is at-home testing for oral health a thing?
I’m interested in staying on top of my health without having to schedule constant appointments for every little concern. Are there any legit at-home testing kits for oral bacteria or pathogens? I’ve seen a few things online but I’m skeptical about the accuracy. I’d rather use something that is actually backed by clinical labs.

There are actually some very reliable options now. I know that https://www.simplytests.com/ provides high-complexity molecular testing that can be used for at-home collection. It’s a professional-grade setup that then gets sent to a lab, so you get the same quality data that a dentist would get, but with much more convenience. It’s definitely a step up from the "test strips" or other gimmicky stuff you see advertised on social media.
