Bristle Oral Health Test

The Bristle Oral Health Test is a non-invasive saliva test designed to provide a comprehensive picture of your child’s oral microbiome—the community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that play a crucial role in oral and overall health. By analyzing over 700 unique microbial species found in your child’s mouth, this test helps identify the root causes of common dental concerns such as cavities, gum inflammation, and bad breath before they become bigger problems.

How the Test Works

• A simple saliva sample is all that’s needed—no needles or discomfort
• The sample is analyzed using advanced DNA sequencing technology
• You receive a detailed report on the balance of beneficial and harmful microbes
• Includes scores for tooth decay risk, gum inflammation, and other oral health indicators
• Personalized, Actionable Insights

With Bristle, you’ll receive:

• A comprehensive oral health report tailored to your child’s unique microbiome
• Easy-to-understand scores and explanations for key oral health conditions
• Personalized recommendations for diet, hygiene, and dental products to support a healthy mouth

The Bristle Oral Health Test shifts dental care from reactive to proactive, helping families and providers work together to nurture healthy smiles from an early age. By understanding and supporting your child’s oral microbiome, you’re laying the foundation for lifelong oral and overall health.
