HackDentistry is becoming an open archive

HackDentistry began nearly a decade ago as an attempt to make dental education clearer, more approachable, and less intimidating.

And if you’ve been around HackDentistry for a while, you know this hasn’t just been a website or a course for me.

It’s been a part of my life for close to a decade.

Over the last 8+ years, through videos, notes, courses, and countless conversations, created alongside my close friend Dr. Divakar Remigius (Periodontist), who worked with me during several formative years, HackDentistry grew into something bigger than I ever expected.

Many of you studied with it, referred friends to it, or simply kept coming back when you needed clarity. I’m deeply grateful for that trust.

Over the last few years, though, my own life changed direction.

I transitioned into a full-time career in product design and now work professionally in software. As that shift happened, my bandwidth and energy for running HackDentistry the way it deserves slowly reduced. I haven’t been able to actively maintain, update, or grow it. And I don’t believe in half-running something that has meant so much to so many.

So rather than let this body of work quietly disappear or sit behind an inactive platform, I’ve decided on something simpler and more honest.

I’m opening up the HackDentistry library for free.

Over the coming days all the core material - notes and videos accumulated over the years, will be released openly and will live as an archive on the HackDentistry blog (Substack). The intent is preservation and access: the learning should remain available, even if the product itself is no longer being actively run.

A small part of the original experience (the quiz system) doesn’t translate cleanly outside the platform, but the heart of HackDentistry - the videos, the explanations, and notes is fully there.

This isn’t a pivot, a relaunch, or a new promise. It’s simply a way of making sure the work continues to be useful, without asking anything in return.

I will be gradually adding material every week and update the open free archive of hackdentistry.

To everyone who supported HackDentistry at any point - by enrolling, reading our notes, watching our videos, sharing, or encouraging - thank you. You made this project possible for nearly a decade, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Warmly,
Sanketh
