Secret & Discreet At-Home Paternity DNA Test Kit Using Toothbrush Samples
Accurate • Confidential • Fast Results You Can Trust
When you can't collect a cheek swab from either participant
This is the kit for scenarios where a cheek swab is not possible from the alleged father or the child. Most discreet paternity kits require at least one participant to provide a standard cheek swab. This one doesn't. Both participants provide used toothbrushes, and the lab extracts DNA from both, then compares the profiles.
The scenarios where this matters:
-
A child who won't sit still for a cheek swab, and an alleged father who doesn't know a test is being conducted.
-
A separated household where neither participant is directly reachable for a swab.
-
A situation where any visible collection would raise suspicion.
-
An alleged father who is present but unwilling to swab, and a child too young or too distant to swab.
How dual toothbrush testing actually works
The lab performs forensic DNA extraction on both toothbrushes independently. Each extraction is reviewed for viability, and each profile is built separately. Once both profiles are established, the standard paternity comparison runs at 24 DNA genetic markers with dual processing, exactly as it would with two cheek swabs.
How reliable is a paternity test with two toothbrushes?
Accuracy on the comparison itself is identical to any other paternity test at our accredited lab. When paternity is confirmed, results show 99.999% or higher. When paternity is excluded, exclusion is 100%. The added risk in this kit isn't accuracy, it's that both samples have to pass viability. If either toothbrush doesn't yield enough DNA, the case pauses until a replacement is submitted.
Which toothbrushes to send
-
Each toothbrush should have been used at least 20 times by only the person being tested.
-
Electric brush heads work. Send only the removable head.
-
Well-used older brushes work better than newer ones.
-
Never send a wet brush, a brush stored in a sealed container, or a brush that's been sanitized in a dishwasher or UV cleaner.
-
The child's toothbrush works even for young children, as long as it's been used regularly.
Alternative combinations
If you can't get two toothbrushes but can get one toothbrush plus a different alternative sample (hair with roots, nail clippings), the general Alternative Samples kit (product 2 in this collection) is probably a better fit. This dual-toothbrush kit is optimized specifically for two toothbrushes.
Important Information
This at-home paternity DNA test kit is intended for informational use only and is not legally admissible. For court-admissible (legal) DNA testing requiring chain of custody, please contact My Forever DNA directly.
Results from alternative DNA samples, such as toothbrushes, depend on the quantity and quality of DNA present. All samples undergo a viability assessment. If insufficient DNA is detected, additional samples may be required. Viability testing fees are non-refundable.
