About us

Our journey began as patients, frustrated by the limitations of smart toothbrushes and Google Docs in achieving effective prevention. We struggled to implement our dentist’s recommendations at home, realizing we weren’t alone. Dental diseases are widespread, affecting 90% with caries and 50% of adults with periodontitis globally.

Two key issues contribute to this problem:

  1.  Dental diseases lack communication, leaving patients to assess their oral health risk and daily hygiene measures independently. The ideal weekly dental visits are impractical and costly.
  2. Patients are left alone at home, limiting the dental practice’s influence.

EMPIDENT aims to change this. We’re creating a new loop connecting dental practices and patients for continuous care and support, revolutionizing oral health.
