Learn about the benefits of Oral Microbiome testing. Understanding a fuller scope of the oral microbiome can aid your patient outcomes for oral and systemic health. Cofounder of Bristle and Microbiologist Dr. David Lin will discuss the testing system for Bristle and how it differs from some of the other testing systems on the market.

Bristle is unique because they are doing testing of the whole microbiome to give deeper information of yeast, virus, perio-pathology and commensal bacteria. They are also tracking what products are shifting the dysbiosis issues, which will really help us have better insight on product recommendations.
