Meet the Dentist Co-Founders

Duo was formulated by dentists Stevie Ames Roberts, DMD and Robert (“Bobby”) Johnson, DMD, MD. They met in dental school at Tufts University, where they realized they were both children of dentists who happily had more in common than a love of teeth. Now married with a 2 year old son, they live on a floating home in Seattle where Stevie runs a dentist office and Bobby is an oral surgeon.

Why is Duo the best toothpaste tablet on the market?

Guided by the latest science, the dentist duo tested hundreds of product iterations to formulate the most effective tablet toothpaste available featuring rod-shaped nano-hydroxyapatite at an optimal concentration to restore tooth enamel. Our proprietary toothpaste tablets are beloved for their premium ingredients, hydrating foam and signature flavor.

Why They Created Duo

“As a married couple, we had many conversations about how ineffective products on the market were for oral and whole-body health.


That’s why we leveraged the latest science to design Duo as the most effective toothpaste, and the most efficient supplement delivery mechanism. We hope that Duo helps elevate your day!”

The Duo Mission

A superior
toothpaste

Formulated by co-founders Stevie Roberts DMD, MS and Robert Johnson DMD, MD, Duo remineralizes teeth, whitens enamel and stops sensitivity at the source. Purifying antioxidants and nourishing botanical extracts promote a balanced oral microbiome.

Free from drying SLS foaming agents and other harsh chemicals used in most toothpastes, our proprietary silky foam naturally hydrates your mouth (hydration is the secret to preventing growth of bad bacteria that cause disease and bad breath).

Oral health is
systemic health


Duo is at the forefront of bridging oral health with systemic wellness. The mouth is the gateway to all major systems, and the oral membrane is highly permeable.

Additionally, many people struggle to absorb vitamins and supplements through the gastrointestinal tract. Duo’s toothpaste tablets allow you to absorb essential vitamins like B12 and D directly into your bloodstream as you brush – all while cleaning, strengthening and whitening your teeth.
