WEBINAR: The Saliva Test Came Back…Now What?

WEBINAR: The Saliva Test Came Back…Now What?
How to Turn Pathogen Results into Clinical Decisions
Presented by Lora Hooper, BSDH, RDH, EFDA

You ordered the saliva test. The report came back. Now the real question begins:

• 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.
