Oral Science

What Oral Science does

Oral Science Inc. is a Canadian specialty distributor of dental hygiene and oral health products headquartered in Brossard, Quebec, founded in 2004 and operating exclusively within Canada. The company serves two primary professional segments — dental hygienists and endodontic specialists — through two distinct commercial channels: Dental Hygiene Pro and EndoStore Pro. Its proprietary technology stack centers on the X-PUR brand, which features CITROX (a patented plant-derived bioflavonoid complex with antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties), medicinal-grade xylitol formulations with Health Canada indications for saliva stimulation and caries reduction, and nano medical hydroxyapatite for tooth remineralization and sensitivity relief. The proprietary PerioMonitor product adds a rapid, saliva-based diagnostic test for periodontal inflammation to the portfolio.

Beyond its own brands, Oral Science functions as the exclusive Canadian distributor for a portfolio of international dental brands including Woodpecker (endodontic motors, air polishers, diode lasers, curing lights, ultrasonic scalers, X-ray sensors), Curaprox (toothbrushes, interdental brushes, electric toothbrushes), Kevin Peter (intraoral cameras, surgical microscopes, endodontic files and sealers), Elevate Oral Care (Advantage Arrest silver diamine fluoride, FluoriMax varnish), HybenX (tissue decontaminant), Cetacaine (topical anesthetic), and XyliMelts. The business is sales-led with a dual field sales force (Hygiene Representatives and Endodontic Representatives) supplemented by a Shopify-hosted professional e-commerce platform requiring account login for pricing, plus educational channels including in-office CE presentations, on-demand webinars, and targeted newsletters. Customers are predominantly Canadian dental practices that purchase consumables for in-office use and patient recommendation.

Oral Science generates revenue through one-time sales of specialized products to dental professionals at unit pricing, with free shipping offered on orders above CAD $500. The company does not ship internationally. In March 2026, Oral Science was acquired by BioSyent Inc. (TSX-V: RX) for CAD $25.5 million in a deal combining cash, BioSyent shares, and working capital consideration, with contingent earn-out and royalty payments through 2033 capped at CAD $6.0 million. Post-acquisition, Oral Science operates as a standalone business unit within BioSyent while retaining its founding leadership and Brossard headquarters. In Q1 2026 (its first partial quarter under BioSyent ownership), Oral Science contributed CAD $2.98 million in revenue and CAD $482,089 in EBITDA to BioSyent's consolidated results.
