New wellbeing app launched by Stockport dentist

A Stockport dental surgeon has launched a new smile-based emotional wellbeing app to help users regulate their emotional state.

The app, Radismile, provides short, guided audio experiences built around smiling, breath and nervous-system regulation to help interrupt stress and emotional fatigue.

Radismile has been created by Stockport dentist Dr Paul Pantiru, who has been practising for more than 17 years, including over 12 years in the UK. He currently works at Turncroft Dental Practice in Stockport and MyDentist in Hollinwood, and has previously practised across Manchester, the Northwest and London.

The idea for Radismile emerged from his clinical experience, where he noticed a consistent link between emotional stress, breathing patterns, posture and facial tension. He continued developing this concept alongside training in somatic practice, breathwork, sound healing and holistic therapy. 

The launch comes at a time when emotional burnout, stress and fatigue are rising across the UK. According to a 2025 report from Mental Health UK, nine in ten adults in the UK reported experiencing high or extreme levels of stress at some point during the past year.

Dr Paul Pantiru, founder of Radismile, said:

“Working in dentistry, I spent years watching how emotion shows up physically in the face and body. A stressed person doesn’t just feel different, their breath, expression and nervous system change. Radismile was designed to help people gently regulate that state in minutes, without needing long meditation sessions or prior experience.”

The app is designed for busy professionals, healthcare workers and anyone seeking a fast, accessible way to regulate stress during the day.

Radismile has been self-funded to date with support from collaborators in the digital health sector, and discussions are now underway with health organisations, gyms, dental groups and workplace wellbeing providers to explore integration opportunities.
