### Oral health isn’t rocket science - it’s biology

### Oral health isn’t rocket science - it’s biology

The oral microbiome is the collection of all the microbes that live in your mouth. Some microbes help break down food, fight off infection, and keep our teeth and gums healthy, while others cause damage to our mouths and bodies. When your oral microbiome is out of balance, it leads to conditions like bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease.

The oral microbiome also affects overall health. Oral conditions like gum disease are risk factors for conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Making small changes to your diet, hygiene and oral products based on your unique biology helps you achieve better oral health through a balanced oral microbiome!

### Improving health through science

There are **_thousands_** of microbes associated with your oral microbiome.

### We developed the world’s first test that analyzes all of them.

We use shotgun metagenomic sequencing to identify all of the microbes in your mouth and data from thousands of samples to provide insights into your health - all **from a single saliva sample.**

network

Our first step in vetting a new product or treatment is to look at the scientific literature, which usually starts at PubMed Central (PMC). This is an archive of biomedical and life science journal literature created by the National Institutes of Health and National Library of Medicine and serves as a "Google for scientific literature". For this example, let's search "nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste" which is a toothpaste ingredient that has recently grown in popularity. We get these results.

### Hear from dentists using Bristle

“Since adding Bristle testing to my practice and my Oral Microbiome Reset Program, I have seen tremendous results. Patients have more information and data, which can be very motivating, and we now have metrics to determine if our treatments and protocols are actually shifting things toward health and balance in their children. I am so excited to see where Oral Microbiome research is headed, and Bristle is certainly paving the way toward better patient outcomes and understanding root cause issues within our patients.”

## Let customers speak for us

from 224 reviews

I can't believe this actually worked!

Chronic bad breath has been bane of my life for years and I've had no idea why! Bristle was the first test to identify what was causing it and give me actionable steps I can take to fix it. The coaching session was incredibly helpful for answering my questions and tailoring my care plan to my needs.

So easy with great results!

It was extremely easy to send in the sample and I received my results quickly. My coach reviewed my results in detail with me, offering up her suggestions as we went and choosing items that fit within my lifestyle. Im so happy to have stumbled across Bristle and cant recommend it enough to others!
