Welcome, Paridhi. It’s great to have you with us today. To start, could you share a bit about your journey and what inspired you to launch Dente91?

Paridhi: Thank you for having me. The idea for Dente91 originated from a personal place. I’ve always been keen on health and wellness, and oral health is a critical, yet often overlooked, component of overall well-being. I noticed a gap in the market for oral care products that not only perform well but also use safer, more innovative ingredients. This realization led to the creation of Dente91, where we aim to revolutionize oral health with cutting-edge technology and ingredients that are beneficial for dental health.

Dente91 is pioneering New Age Oral Care, merging innovative technology with expert dentistry to redefine dental wellness.

It is interesting that you chose to focus on innovative ingredients. Can you elaborate on why you decided to incorporate Nano hydroxyapatite and Lactoferrin into your oral care range?

Paridhi: Absolutely. Our decision to use Nano Hydroxyapatite was influenced by its remarkable properties. Nano Hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible material that is structurally similar to the mineral component of teeth and bones. It is incredibly effective at remineralizing teeth enamel and offers a fluoride-free alternative to traditional toothpastes, which appeals to many.

Lactoferrin, on the other hand, is a super protein found in mother’s milk and body fluids like saliva that has natural antimicrobial properties. It plays a crucial role in the immune response within the oral cavity. By including lactoferrin, our products help fight bacteria, reduce sensitivity and improve gum health. The combination of these two ingredients represents our commitment to pioneering products that are not only effective but also promote oral health in a holistic manner.

That is truly innovative. How did you go about researching and testing these ingredients to ensure they were the right fit for Dente91?

Paridhi: We wanted to ensure that our products not only deliver visible results but also provide long-term benefits for oral health. Numerous studies pointed to the benefits of Nano Hydroxyapatite and Lactoferrin for oral health. After studying the scientific literatures and consulting with experts, we were convinced that Nano Hydroxyapatite and Lactoferrin were the ideal ingredients to achieve our goals. 

The research phase was intensive. We collaborated with experts to ensure the efficacy of our ingredients. We wanted to see the results for ourselves. We conducted several rounds of product testing to gather feedback and make adjustments. It was a rigorous process, but very rewarding to see how well the products performed across different metrics. We then worked closely with our formulation team to develop formulations that maximize the benefits of these ingredients while maintaining safety and efficacy.

What were some of the challenges you faced when launching Dente91, and how did you overcome them?

Paridhi: One of the biggest challenges was entering a market dominated by long-established brands with loyal customer bases. To differentiate ourselves, we focused heavily on educating consumers about the unique benefits of our ingredients and the science behind them. We invested in marketing strategies that highlighted our innovative approach and built trust through transparency and engagement.

Another challenge was the formulation of the products themselves. Ensuring stability and efficacy of ingredients like Nano Hydroxyapatite and Lactoferrin required sophisticated formulation techniques and a lot of trial and error. We overcame this by working closely with our R&D team and leveraging the latest technology in product development.

Can you tell us about the recent launch of toothpaste and mouthwash for sensitivity?

Paridhi: Certainly! We are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation, Dente91 Sensitive Toothpaste and Aqua Sensitive Mouthwash. Designed to provide gentle yet effective relief for sensitive teeth, this advanced formula combines cutting-edge technology with powerful ingredients to soothe discomfort and promote oral health. With the launch of Dente91 Sensitive Toothpaste and Mouthwash, we aim to revolutionize oral care experience, offering our customers a solution that delivers both immediate and long-term benefits. From its refreshing Cool Mint flavour to its enamel-strengthening properties, Dente91 sets new standards for sensitive teeth care, ensuring a brighter, healthier smile for all.

Given the uniqueness of your products, how have consumers responded to your oral care range?

Paridhi: The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Our customers appreciate the effectiveness of the products and the fact that they can achieve better oral health without relying on harsh chemicals. We receive a lot of feedback from people who have sensitive teeth or who want to avoid fluoride, and they tell us how much they love the gentleness and results of our products. It is incredibly satisfying to know that we are making a difference in people’s lives.

Looking towards the future, what is next for Dente91? Are there any new products or innovations in the pipeline?

Paridhi: We are constantly exploring new ingredients and technologies that can further enhance oral health. We are looking into expanding our product line to include more specialized products that cater to diverse needs. Also, sustainability is a big focus for us, so we’re working on more eco-friendly packaging solutions and initiatives that reflect our commitment to the environment.

We are thrilled to announce the recent launch of our anti-stain toothpaste infused with charcoal. This innovative formula with high abrasive potential of charcoal helps to effectively remove stubborn stains while also promoting overall oral health.

To finish with, what advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to make an impact in the health and wellness industry?

Paridhi: My advice would be to focus on solving real problems. Look for gaps in the market where you can truly make a difference. Be patient, persistent, and do not shy away from innovating and taking calculated risks. Lastly, make sure to build a team that shares your vision and passion, as having the right people on board is crucial for turning your vision into reality.

Thank you, Paridhi, for sharing your insights and journey with us today. We wish you and Dente91 continued success.

Paridhi: Thank you for the opportunity. I am excited for what lies ahead for us!
