Our Story

It started with one very sore little tooth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Bill Madytianos was trying to help his sister through her daughter’s painful teething experience. Like any good uncle, and dentist, he went looking for a reliable resource he could recommend.

There was plenty of information online, but no simple, comprehensive guide made specifically for parents and carers that brought the important stuff together in one place.

So Bill decided to create it himself.
And that was the beginning of Tools for Teeth.

​

Dental advice without the dental degree
 

Parents shouldn’t need a dental degree to understand how to look after children's teeth. Tools for Teeth combines the latest research with real-world clinical experience to provide practical advice that parents can use.

No scare tactics.

No confusing dental jargon.

No pushing products you don’t need.

Just clear, evidence-based advice to help you make confident decisions about your child’s oral health. Because when you know what to do, it’s easier to build good habits, prevent problems and know when it’s time to ask for help.
