About Us

Pioneer in Salivary Diagnostics | Creator of MicrobeLinkDX® | Educator & Speaker

Jennifer Seider RDH is a leading expert in salivary diagnostics and the creator of MicrobeLinkDX®, an advanced molecular diagnostic test that detects 11 key bacteria linked to periodontal and systemic diseases. Since 2005, she has been at the forefront of applying molecular diagnostics to identify pathogenic activity, helping to bridge the connection between oral health and conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and preterm birth.

Her MicrobeLinkDX® system allows for early detection and intervention, empowering dental professionals to prevent bone loss and systemic spread of harmful bacteria. With a commitment to improving patient care, Jennifer actively educates dental teams on the latest diagnostic advancements and periodontal therapies. She is also a sought-after speaker and organizes events like Boots, Bugs, and Biofilm, where she shares her expertise on oral-systemic health.
