Meet Your Trainer, Dr. Jacob Dent

Dr. Jacob Dent is a dentist, co-founder of Dental Desensitization Systems, and father of a son with special needs.

His personal and clinical experience helped shape the DDS approach, which focuses on practical, sensory-friendly strategies to make oral care more comfortable and successful for individuals, caregivers, and families.
