who we are

you may be asking yourself...

"what is mantooth?"
a mountain beside horsetooth?

No, it’s not a cousin to Horsetooth Rock, although we think that would be cool.

a dental office for men?

No, but if you are looking for medical marketing, you've found a leader!

mantooth means strong lead

It is translated from Cherokee and honors our owner’s heritage.
