Bristle Oral Health Test Reviews and Microbiome Testing
Even with the best of intentions in healing your oral health, it can be difficult to get a feel for how you’re doing. Visiting a dentist for this purpose can be costly and time-consuming, especially with a busy schedule managing a household or career.
We’re excited to offer a new way to measure your oral health progress with a simple at-home test for you and your family by Bristle Health! Here’s what to know about it and how you can use it as part of our oral healing course.
What is Bristle Oral Health?
Bristle Health is dedicated to a preventive approach to oral health. Bristle Health offers science-backed at-home testing for many different oral diseases to better predict decay and measure progress.
These at-home tests use a small saliva sample to analyze your unique oral microbiome and measure both good and bad bacteria.
This bristle oral health test provides a custom plan to improve your oral health based on the results. This allows Bristle Health’s team of dental experts to generate a report of your specific risks for oral disease like decay or gum disease based on the presence of certain types of bacteria, so you know which steps to take in your oral healing journey.
You can optimize your oral health from home for a fraction of the cost you would pay for similar testing at your dentist, and it can help you figure out what home care products and tools will actually benefit you instead of guessing or asking on your favorite social media platforms!
How Much Does At-Home Testing Cost?
Bristle Health offers bristle tests at $149 per test - or a subscription-based model so you can receive four tests spaced throughout the year for as little as $99. These bristle tests measure the levels of good and bad bacteria in your mouth and provide a custom plan to improve your oral health.
The tests are backed by leading dentists and developed in collaboration with dental professionals. Bristle Health tests are even HSA/FSA eligible! This means you can track your progress and keep a watchful eye on any concerns that might be present.
It’s also a great way to track your family’s oral health without expensive and time-consuming trips to the dentist, that often don’t include any type of bacteria testing.
Your fees also include a single coaching call with Bristle Health’s team of oral health coaches to discuss your results and your next steps. You’ll get personalized diet, product, and hygiene recommendations to implement along the way.
What Do My At-Home Oral Microbiome Test Results Tell Me?
Your testing results will give you insight into your oral health at every level – in an easy-to-understand oral health report card complete with the support of a Bristles oral health coach. The test measures over 700 bacteria, fungi, and viruses to provide detailed insights into your oral health.
Your results will give you a complete picture of your overall oral health based on a variety of factors like your oral microbiome, clinical risk factors, and oral health behaviors that can put you at risk for oral disease.
You’ll get scores for risks like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath along with steps to prevent them. And finally, you’ll get a complete understanding of your unique oral microbiome and the types of bacteria present.
There are many ways to view the information depending how deep you want to dive, or if you just want surface level information to help you make smart changes and choices that will help you make steps towards healing.
If you are a member of Carrie’s Oral Health Coaching program and membership you will have access to ongoing support as well! There are so many ways to incorporate this information!
Your Oral Health Coaching and At-Home Oral Test Plan
You can take Bristle Health tests at least 30 minutes after eating or drinking by simply producing a saliva sample in a small vial and shipping it with the included label. The bristle test will analyze your oral microbiome and provide detailed oral health reports.
Bristle Health will test your sample at a CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) lab and generate a HIPAA-compliant report with state-of-the-art encryption you can view through their app. The test can detect gum inflammation and provide scores for it.
You can typically expect results 2-3 weeks after shipping your sample. Once your results are avail you schedule a call with their team and go over your results and they can make suggestions on how to balance your bacteria and what ingredients to look for in your oral health care products.
You can also share these results with Carrie Ibbetson RDH, your oral health coach, for support on your progress and recommendations for ongoing steps to heal your family’s oral health if you are in her program or part of her groups.
Bristle Health testing can be a low-cost way to truly see your success. It can also be a great way to establish a baseline if you’re new to our program. It can even predict concerns before they begin to show symptoms, allowing you to take the right steps to prevent further problems, and help your dental professional see how effective these changes in home care can bring.
Finally, you can get a complete understanding of your mouth’s microbiome and what contributes to oral disease – and how you can stop it. Combined with our online program, Bristle Health can help you and your family reach your goals at home for happier, healthier smiles, and more predictable outcomes with dental procedures, and easier cleanings as well! Customers can meet their personal oral health coach as part of the program.
Bristle Health testing can pinpoint imbalances in your oral microbiome, helping to prevent potential oral health issues from developing. The test helps identify the root cause of oral health conditions, ensuring a comprehensive approach to improving both oral and overall health.
