Dr. Brigitte White is a dentist, author, co-founder of Bright Whites Oral Care, and creator of Hormonal Mouth™, an educational platform exploring the intersection of hormones, oral health, and lived experience.
Originally from Philadelphia, she earned her undergraduate degree in Public Policy and International Affairs from Princeton University and her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where she now serves on the Penn Dental Alumni Executive Board.
Dr. White's career has moved across clinical dentistry, public health, practice ownership, entrepreneurship, and dental technology. Along the way, she became increasingly interested in something dentistry often treats as peripheral: the ways a woman’s mouth can shift alongside the rest of her body.
Pregnancy. Postpartum. Stress. Perimenopause. Menopause. Changes in saliva, inflammation, sensitivity, taste, clenching, and oral comfort.
Those observations, shaped by both clinical practice and lived experience, became the foundation for Hormonal Mouth™, Dr. White’s framework for helping women better understand the relationship between hormonal shifts and oral health. Through essays, educational guides, and speaking, she brings accessible language to an area of women’s health that has too often been overlooked.
Dr. White is also the co-founder of Bright Whites Oral Care, a fruit-forward oral wellness brand built around the idea that oral care doesn’t have to look, taste, or feel one particular way. Its product portfolio includes Dr. White’s Toothpaste™, AVAEA whitening, oral-care tools, and products developed specifically with women’s changing needs in mind.
Her work extends beyond women’s oral health. She writes and speaks about the evolving dental profession, career reinvention, entrepreneurship, health equity, and what happens when clinicians build careers beyond traditional definitions of practice. Her research has appeared in the Annals of Neurology, and her perspective has been featured across dental, consumer, and media platforms.
