TOOTHBRUSH DNA TEST

paternity testing with toothbrush

What is a Toothbrush DNA Test?

A toothbrush DNA test allows determining biological relationships discreetly. You can use it to establish parent-child (paternity and maternity), grandparent and grandchild or sibling relationships. The method works when standard testing isn’t feasible or someone is unavailable.

Before submitting a toothbrush sample we recommend that the toothbrush was used for a minimum 6 weeks consecutively. The longer the usage, the more opportunity for DNA profile to be produced.
