Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bristle test look for?

Bristle profiles your oral microbiome - the makeup of bacteria, fungi, and viruses in your mouth. Some of these bacteria are beneficial to our health, while others are harmful and can increase our risk or cause disease.

How many microbes does Bristle detect?

Bristle is great for anyone trying to improve their oral health. We designed our probiotic to help you tackle the root-cause of conditions including bad breath, cavities and gum disease, while also maintaining your general oral health.

We hand-picked our probiotic strains and ingredients to help everyone achieve their oral health goals.

Pro tip: if you are suffering from halitosis (chronic bad breath) we've seen the best results from taking two mints per day - one in the morning and again at night.

Can I share my results with my dentist?

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.

Can I use HSA/FSA for payment?

Bristle tests are eligible for reimbursement by most FSA and HSA plans. Since every plan is different, we advise that you check with your plan to confirm that the Bristle test is eligible. Contact us at support@bristlehealth.com to obtain an itemized receipt.

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 via email and you can track the shipment in your dashboard by clicking on the "My Orders" tab.

Is Bristle CLIA compliant?

Yes — 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.

Waiting for test results

Hard to rate the company yet as I am waiting for test results. So far the kit arrived in a timely fashion, collection was straightforward, and posting to the lab was easy enough from Canada to the US after dealing with a customs form, I was notified when the sample reached the lab within the expected amount of time. So far, all is good.
