> thedentist.ai is a verified-information platform for US dental care being shaped in public before launch. This teaser collects what patients, dentists, hygienists, practice owners, and dental industry partners want built — including dentist search, dental pricing transparency, insurance clarity, verified reviews, practice marketing, dental software discovery, and OTC storefronts.

## What this site is
