Take Control Over Your Oral Health

Bristle helps people measure, understand and improve their oral health by analyzing the oral microbiome. 

Bristle’s at-home oral microbiome test measures oral health status, including risk factors for cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and more. Bristle then provides personalized diet, lifestyle, and product recommendations to improve health and help lower risk for disease. 

What is your oral microbiome? 

The oral microbiome is the collection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living in one’s mouth. On average, an individual has 100+ unique species of beneficial and harmful oral bacteria. Oral infections like cavities and gum disease are caused by high levels of pathogenic oral bacteria. 

Oral health impacts your overall health

The mouth is the gateway to the body. An unbalanced oral microbiome and high levels  of pathogenic bacteria have been associated with increased risk for Alzheimer’s,  diabetes, cardiovascular disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and other chronic  conditions. 

By understanding your oral microbiome, preventive measures can be taken to address the root causes of oral and systemic diseases and achieve whole-body health.
