We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Rupa Health, a leading digital platform for healthcare practitioners. This partnership represents a huge step in achieving our vision of making preventative, root cause oral care the standard of care for all.
Rupa Health offers a centralized platform where practitioners can order from over 30 labs all in one place. By consolidating lab ordering, tracking, and educational resources into a single platform, Rupa simplifies lab workflows for practices of all sizes, from individual providers to large multi-practitioner clinics.
Practitioners in Rupa’s extensive healthcare network can now order the Bristle Oral Microbiome Health Test directly through the Rupa Platform.
Bringing Oral Health to the Forefront of Care
Chronic oral disease is rampant in the United States, with over 65 million Americans living with gum disease and nearly 25% living with untreated decay. Decades of research have now shown our mouths are the gateway to our bodies, with oral bacteria and disease having direct relationships with our overall health, including connections to Heart Disease, Diabetes, Autoimmune Disease, Cancer, Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and more.
We started Bristle Health to give patients and providers insights into the root cause of oral disease, the oral microbiome, and give them guidance into which treatments would be most effective in achieving a healthy, balanced oral microbiome. Teaming up with Rupa Health, a leader in advancing Root Cause Medicine, will expand access to our Oral Microbiome Testing platform to thousands of practitioners and their patients.
How Practitioners can Access Bristle Testing on Rupa Health
Existing Rupa Health practitioners can now order the Bristle Oral Microbiome Health test directly through the Rupa platform, alongside their expansive catalog of other tests. The Bristle test measures all 800+ known oral bacteria and fungi in the oral microbiome, and offers an intuitive user report with insights into gum health, tooth decay, beneficial bacteria, gut health, nitric oxide, halitosis, and more - with actionable hygiene, diet, and treatment recommendations clinically proven to improve oral health.
We’re thrilled to be working with Rupa Health to bring Oral Health and the Oral Microbiome to the forefront of medicine, and help practitioners and patients achieve healthier smiles and lives.
