Noodz is a proud misfit among boring toothpastes. CEO & Founder Q.A. Nguyen founded Noodz because he encounters the consequences of bad oral-health during his daily work as an esthetic dentist. He believes that with the right products and self-care, oral-care can shift the paradigm from curative to preventive. One of his known quotes is:" Oral-case is not expensive, if you brush!"This philosophy is at the basis of Noodz, on a mission to develop a new kind of toothpaste and launch it. He has partnered up with his older brother Q.H. Nguyen who is the co-founder and CFO of the company, and he's a pharmacist. They believe that oral-care has to be sexy, and with that in mind, they are developing and producing products that are unique, a tad rebellious and disruptive in an industry that has barely innovated in 150 years time.They believe that combining An's entrepreneurship and vast network in the dental industry and his older brother Huy's expertise in the pharma and MBA-experience can result in for the oral-healthcare industry what Tony Chocolonely did for chocolate and Boldking did for shaving. To stand out you have to dare to be different, a well-known platitude. The difference in this case is that Noodz really means it: we're not here to take part, we're here to take over.
