Fondatrice & Directrice générale (CEO)
“From the Sea to the Mission: Cristina’s Story”
Growing up in the waves of the Ligurian Sea, Cristina embodies the essence of Genoa: that determination typical of the Ligurians and a deep connection with the sea, which shaped her outlook on life and, later, her entrepreneurial mission.
Her excellence in the dental field is not the result of chance. A graduate of the University of Genoa and specialized in oral pathology at the University of Turin, Cristina has made continuous training her professional mantra. Periodontology has become her passion, pushing her to constantly improve herself to guarantee her patients the most innovative care.
It was in 2016 that his story took an unexpected turn. His move to Switzerland was not just a change of scenery, but the beginning of a personal and professional revolution.
Her connection with the sea has never wavered: swimming, canoeing, sailing, and in 2022, she took a new step by obtaining her diving certificate in Thailand, allowing her to explore the seabed up to 18 meters deep.
During her travels, Cristina observed with growing concern the impact of plastic on the oceans. This awareness, combined with her expertise in the dental sector, gave birth to a revolutionary idea: Natooth.
Meeting Alberto added the missing piece, turning the vision into reality.
Today, Cristina is not only a dental health expert: she is a pioneer in her field. In her practice, each patient discovers how to take care of their smile while respecting the planet. Her story proves that when professional passion and environmental responsibility meet, projects are born that can change the world, one smile at a time.

"Innovation and Sustainable Vision: Portrait of Alberto"
At just 30 years old, Alberto embodies the new generation of engineers who are reinventing our future.
Trained at the prestigious Politecnico di Torino, he combines Italian technical excellence with a vision resolutely focused on the sustainable future of our planet.
His career path is not the result of chance. Originally from Piedmont, a land of innovation and tradition, Alberto developed a particular sensitivity to the environmental impact of plastic materials very early on. This concern became a real mission when he specialized in advanced plastic materials and medical devices.
What sets Alberto apart is his unique ability to turn challenges into opportunities. As CTO of NaTooth, he doesn’t just follow trends: he creates them.
His collaboration with Cristina perfectly illustrates this synergy between technical expertise and knowledge of the field, giving rise to innovations that redefine the standards of the dental industry.
Alberto's strength lies in his dual approach: scientific rigor inherited from his engineering training, combined with a bold entrepreneurial vision. Each product developed under his leadership meets a triple objective: technical excellence, impeccable medical safety and respect for the environment.
Today, his work at NaTooth goes far beyond simple product innovation. He is driving a true revolution in the dental hygiene products industry, proving that it is possible to reconcile high performance and environmental responsibility.
