Led · Seed · Sep 2021
Toothfairy operates a digital platform that lets patients video-call licensed dentists, enabling remote consultations, prescription issuance, and ongoing treatment monitoring through its mobile app. The service targets users seeking convenient, on-demand dental advice without in-person appointments. With its latest capital infusion, the company plans to broaden the app’s reach and enhance product features aimed at improving clinical oversight of at-home dental treatments. The platform is positioned to address accessibility gaps in dental care while potentially lowering costs for patients. Although no revenue or user figures were disclosed, the company’s new financing underscores investor confidence in tele-dentistry as a growing segment of digital health. Toothfairy is headquartered in London and continues to focus on compliance with UK dental regulations as it scales.
