Who is behind the toothpaste tablet?

Axel Kaiser

is not a trained dentist, as one might assume. After graduating from high school, he first trained as a car mechanic in order to give his hobby a more professional basis. As part of his alternative service, he taught himself programming in the early 1980s and worked in the field as a technician and lecturer until 1992. As a photographer, he also photographed stars such as Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones at concerts in Berlin.

In addition to Denttabs, Axel is passionate about sustainable business. He is a board member (since 2007) of the Federal Association for Sustainable Business (BNW) , is a founding member of Bürgerenergie Berlin (BEB) and co-founder of the circular packaging initiative (2020). Since 2023 he has been a member of the DIN committee for "oral care products" and can be heard on various panels and in podcasts (see press) . In his free time he is an enthusiastic sailor and spreads his favorite hashtag "#WennRichtigSchonImmerWalschWar" wherever he can. 😉

founder's story

founding of a dental laboratory

In 1992, Axel Kaiser and his two brothers founded the dental laboratory proDentum in Berlin, which was intended as a sales organization for the main laboratory in Singapore initiated by brother Christoph and provided patients with high-quality and significantly cheaper dental prostheses.

First idea in doctoral thesis
At the end of the 1990s, Axel supported one of his dental clients with the practical part of his doctoral thesis. Topic: Development of a water-free dentifrice with the aim of avoiding many ingredients that are unnecessary for dental care but potentially critical for the body.

Innovation: The toothbrush tablet
After a few attempts and a lot of research, the first product was a granulate. More out of curiosity, this was turned into a tablet, which was first sold in autumn 2003.

founding of Denttabs
On January 1, 2009, Denttabs innovative Zahnpflegegesellschaft mbH was officially founded, which previously ran as a proDentum project.
