The problem we are solving

WhatsApp wasn't built for clinical decisions.

Every Indian dentist already discusses cases — in 3-to-10 WhatsApp groups, anonymous Facebook forums, or by calling a senior who may not pick up. The behaviour is right; the container is wrong.

WhatsApp groups

Fast, free — and a structural mismatch for clinical care.

  • No verification — anyone can join
  • Patient privacy routinely violated
  • Last week's case is gone — unsearchable
  • Hostile to newcomers; 5–10 voices dominate

Random forums & FB groups

High volume, low signal — and zero accountability.

  • Reach is broad but trust is shallow
  • Loudest voice wins, not the best clinician
  • No way to monetise senior expertise
  • No CME, no archive, no structure

DentPontix

A different shape, not a faster WhatsApp.

  • Every voice is a verified dentist
  • Auto-anonymisation + consent attestation
  • Searchable archive of every case
  • Reputation, KOLs, CME — built-in
Four surfaces, one network

Built around how dentists actually spend their day.

Every feature maps to a moment in your day — chairside, end-of-day, weekend study, or planning your next clinic move.

01 · WHEN SECONDS COUNT

SOS — Live help now

For: every dentist mid-procedure

Tap SOS, describe the case in 30 seconds, and a tier-routed verified specialist accepts within 90 seconds. Voice, video, or chat. Optional silent witness, optional anonymised follow-up post.

02 · 7 PM ONWARDS

End-of-Day Rounds

For: postgraduates and curious practitioners

Post the day's most interesting case in a structured template. Get peer review by morning. Save to your private casebook. No infinite scroll, no outrage feed, no Instagram-grade vanity metrics.

03 · YOUR DEPARTMENT, EVERY DAY

Specialty Rooms

For: 10 specialties, including Endo, Perio, Prostho, Ortho, OMFS, Pedo

Topic-of-the-day prompts, Wednesday journal clubs, monthly KOL AMAs, room libraries. Flatten the geographic privilege gap between AIIMS and your tier-2 college.

04 · THE QUESTIONS NO TEXTBOOK ANSWERS

Materials, Setup & Ethics

For: every dentist who has ever bought a material

Structured material reviews, equipment comparisons, city-specific new-clinic playbooks, billing and ethics threads, and a weekly editorial digest of recent dental literature.

SOS · How it works

When seconds matter, every detail matters.

SOS is the one feature WhatsApp groups structurally cannot replicate — verified specialist, routed, on the line, in under a minute.

  • 1

    Tap SOS, give 30 seconds of context

    Specialty (pre-filled), urgency, short text, optional photo or radiograph, optional 30-second voice note. The form is built for one-handed chairside use.

  • 2

    Tier-routed to verified specialists

    The system pages on-call dentists in your specialty in tiers — Tier 3 first (postgraduates with strong reputation), then Tier 2 (senior specialists), then Tier 1 (KOLs). The first to accept opens the room.

  • 3

    Voice, video, or chat — recorded with consent

    Both parties confirm a one-line consent before connecting. Calls are stored encrypted for the legal record. After the call, optionally publish the case (anonymised) to End-of-Day Rounds.

End-of-Day Rounds

Today's case, peer-reviewed by morning.

A structured case post — not a screenshot dump. Auto-anonymised images, clear template, threaded peer review. Calm by design.

Separated K-file in MB1 of #16 — bypass with hand instrumentation

Chief complaint: Acute pain on biting; 35F, otherwise healthy. Tooth #16, mid-RCT (re-treatment).

What happened: K15 separated coronal-third in MB1 during glide-path negotiation. Bypass attempted with #6, #8, #10 K-files in 17% EDTA after ProUltra ULTRASONIC tip troughing. Successfully bypassed and instrumented to WL with rotaries.

Excellent recovery, Priya. Two notes: (1) consider ProTaper Ultimate SX for orifice flaring before troughing — protects MB1 morphology; (2) post-op CBCT at 6 months is gold standard for retreatment outcome. Saved.

FAQ

The questions we get most often.

Is this a patient-facing app?
No. DentPontix is strictly a dentist-to-dentist (doctor-to-doctor) platform. Patients are never users. Patient images appear only in anonymised, consented form. This is the legal foundation of the product, not a marketing constraint.
How is verification done?
You enter your State Council registration number, upload your council card and a government photo ID. We OCR and match against the public council register. Mismatches go to human review. Median 2 hours, SLA 24 hours.
Can students join?
Yes — undergraduates and postgraduates are welcome. Student profiles are clearly badged as students; they read freely and can post in End-of-Day Rounds and Specialty Rooms after a short orientation.
How do you protect patient privacy?
Mandatory automated anonymisation pipeline (face blur, EXIF strip, watermark, 1024px max), mandatory consent attestation tickbox before image upload, auto-scan of post text for likely identifiers, India-region data residency, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Permanent ban for any privacy violation.
What's the price?
Free for verified students. Free for verified practitioners during the founders' year. A paid Pro tier (₹399–599/month or ₹3,500–4,500/year) launches in Year 2 — SOS priority, full case search, casebook export, ad-light digest.
How do you make money?
Year 1: sponsored content from dental brands — AMAs, TOTD takeovers, materials reviews, the editorial digest. Year 2 layers in subscriptions, CME-accredited courses, a verified job/locum board, and a clinic-setup marketplace. Brand sponsorships are clearly disclosed.
What's an SOS responder, and how do I become one?
Verified dentists who opt into on-call windows in their specialty. Tiered by reputation. Year 1: earn reputation and a Verified Responder badge. Year 2: paid per accepted SOS call. Apply via the founders' circle form below.
