If you would like to perform a discreet toothbrush DNA or a toothbrush paternity test on your child, we can help. We offer DNA paternity testing in Sacramento County and surrounding areas using your child's well-used toothbrush. We advise that the toothbrush is used for at least 1-2 weeks. We can take the child's used toothbrush and a buccal swab from the father by performing a toothbrush DNA paternity or a toothbrush DNA test a to determine paternity. It is very important to keep in mind that this type of testing is not as fully accurate as the standards paternity test which is using a buccal swab to get DNA samples from the cheek. If the toothbrush has viable amount of DNA, it can help in determining paternity. It is also important to note that this is for informational purposes and not for legal reasons. OUR ACCREDITED LAB PARTNERS STRIVE FOR ACCURACY IN ALL TESTING! However, the quality of the DNA sample on the toothbrush is very important. Due to the type of item used for this paternity test the amount of DNA can be insufficient, and not yield enough DNA for testing. Please keep this in mind.
We can come to you or meet at a secured location for your to drop off the toothbrush and do a mouth swab of the child. /or you can come to our office. Make sure you do not store the toothbrush in a plastic bag.
This test can also be for testing the alleged father, especially if he does not want to participate. This is not a court-admissible test, and there are no guarantees that there will be enough viable DNA to extract from a toothbrush. But this test may give you the answers you need. We suggest that if the test comes back inconclusive or proves or disproves the alleged father's relationship to the child, you should always follow up with a standard paternity DNA test. We leave this decision to your discretion.
Please contact us with questions and pricing.
You will receive results 5 business days after the lab receives your samples.
