A saliva test tells us what's actually living in your mouth. Just like your gut, your mouth has both good and bad bacteria, and despite what a lot of people think, the goal isn't to wipe it all out. We want to understand the balance.
The Bristle test analyzes a small saliva sample to map your oral microbiome: the bacteria associated with cavities, gum issues, and bad breath, alongside the beneficial ones. The results turn guesswork into a clearer picture, so prevention and home care can be tailored to what's actually going on in your mouth rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.
