Pediatric dentistry entrepreneur with Dr. Ashley Lerman

What do you get when you mix dentistry, motherhood, and a sharp eye for prevention? You get Dr. Ashley Lerman.

In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Tudor Francu talks with Dr. Ashley Lerman, a board-certified pediatric dentist turned tech entrepreneur. After completing residency during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and seeing firsthand the gaps in pediatric oral health, Ashley launched FirstGrin, a preventive oral health tech company focused on new and expecting families.

You’ll hear her take on integrating dental and medical care, working with insurance companies, and staying grounded in her mission despite early missteps.
