Folktandvården Stockholm AB

What Folktandvården Stockholm AB does

Folktandvården Stockholm AB is a publicly owned dental care provider wholly owned by Region Stockholm (via Landstingshuset i Stockholm AB), operating since 1938 across approximately 77-80+ clinics throughout Stockholm County, including 54 general dentistry clinics and 23 specialist clinics concentrated at the Eastmaninstitutet facility. The organization employs approximately 2,000 staff including dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants, delivering general dentistry, nine specialty disciplines (orofacial medicine, endodontics, jaw surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, pedodontics, prosthetics, dental radiology, bite physiology), emergency care, dental anxiety services, and orofacial medicine for patients with complex medical conditions. All profits are reinvested into operations and community, with no private equity or venture capital involvement.

The core technology stack includes electronic patient records, digital referral systems (Webbremisser) using SITHS certificates, telehealth delivery through the 1177.se national e-health platform with BankID authentication, the proprietary 'Folktandvården Sthlm vårdmöte' mobile app for video consultations, Visibacare secure messaging, and an AI-based oral cancer detection decision support system using brush biopsy image analysis with deep learning. Revenue derives from government-mandated regional pricing for adult services, free care for children through age 19, the Frisktandvård fixed-price 3-year subscription program for adults, and the new Tiotandvård government-subsidized program for seniors 67+ launched January 2026 where patients pay only 10% of qualifying treatment costs.

The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer access via 77+ physical clinics and digital booking with community-led referrals from other healthcare providers into specialist services. Distribution is reinforced by the FluorTanten school education program reaching 50,000+ students annually, TV4 media appearances by clinical staff, and active social media presence. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, won the 2026 Region Stockholm Sustainability Award, and maintains research partnerships with Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital for clinical and AI research.
