Take a look at our FAQs
What does Bristle's test look for?
Bristle profiles your complete oral microbiome - the makeup of 700+ bacteria and fungi in your mouth. Our test is the most comprehensive available and identifies all microbes present in your oral microbiome. Some of these species are beneficial to our health, while others are harmful and can cause conditions like halitosis, tooth decay, gum inflammation, and more. By analyzing the identity and relative abundance of microbes in your saliva, Bristle detects the root cause of oral symptoms and connections to other chronic conditions. We also provide scientifically-backed product, diet, and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique oral microbiome.
How do I collect my sample?
Collecting your sample is super easy. You just submit a small amount of saliva in a small vial we provide and mail it back to the lab to undergo processing.
When will I receive my test?
Orders ship within 1-2 days from purchase, and shipping usually takes 3 - 5 business days for delivery. We will provide you with updates on your order by email.
How long does it take to get my results once I return my sample?
Once your sample reaches your lab, it takes 2-3 weeks to go through full analysis. We'll send emails along the way to keep you up to date on the status.
Can I share the results with my dentist or doctor?
Yes! We encourage you to share your results with your dentist and anyone else involved with your health. You can print or share your results directly from your account.
What will you do with my data?
We take your security seriously. No data is sold or kept after processing. Bristle tests are analyzed in a U.S. laboratory that is certified by CLIA standards. A CLIA certified lab must meet strict quality standards and ensure both the accuracy and validity of your results.
