Company profile
researched Aug 2026Toothio operates an on-demand staffing platform for the dental industry, matching credentialed dental professionals — hygienists, dental assistants and receptionists — with dental practices that need to fill shifts. The platform is positioned to address staffing shortages in dental offices, allowing practices to fill open shifts quickly in order to maintain office production and patient care, while giving dental workers flexibility over when and where they work.
The company was founded in 2021 and is led by co-founder and CEO Ian Prendergast. Its stated mission is to alleviate staffing challenges faced by dentists by providing on-demand access to hygienists and assistants. Following its 2023 seed round, Toothio said it would invest in its technology, expand into additional key U.S. markets, grow its network of dental professionals and add to its sales team, including sales and partnership hires; its team includes people who previously worked at Amazon, Uber and Qwik.
