I'm reminded of a medical maxim: Never run a test if it the results won't affect treatment decisions.

I'm that vein: Is this really a medical test, or is it just recreational?

Our early access test is recreational. However, we anticipate to provide clinical decisions for oral health in the near future. By signing up for the educational test today, you are also contributing to scientific discoveries and helping to develop future products that can prevent disease.
In highschool, I had an acquaintance whose father was a dentist, and had developed a ‘bad breath detector’ test.
You seemed to stop mid-thought... was there a point you were making here?
