Changing the world from a dental chair

Since he has received the EY’s nomination for entrepreneur of year for his startup Mdex & Co, Dr. Bak Nguyen has pushed the opportunity to the next level. Speaker, author and businessman, Dr. Bak is a true entrepreneur and industries disruptor. To compensate the startup’s status of Mdex & Co, he challenged himself to write a book based on the EY’s questionnaire to share an in depth vision of his company.

With “Changing the World from a dental chair” Dr. Bak is sharing his thought process and philosophy to his approach of the industry. Not looking to revolutionize but rather to empower, he became, despite himself, an industries disruptor: an entrepreneur who has established a new benchmark.

Dr. Bak Nguyen is a cosmetic dentist and visionary businessman who won the GRAND HOMAGE prize of "LYS de la Diversité” 2016, for his contribution as a citizen and entrepreneur in the community. He also holds recognitions from the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Senate.

In 2003, he founded Mdex, a dental company upon which in 2018, he launched the most ambitious private endeavour to reform the dental industry, Canada wide. He wrote seven books covering ENTREPRENEURSHIP, LEADERSHIP, QUEST of IDENTITY and now, PROFESSION HEALTH. Philosopher, he has close to his heart the quest of happiness of the people surrounding him, patients and colleagues alike.


Those projects have allowed Dr. Nguyen to attract interests from the international and diplomatic community and he is now the centre of a global discussion in the wellbeing and the future of the health profession. It is on that matter that he shares with you his thoughts and encourages the health community to share their own stories.

"It's not worth it to go through it alone! Together, we stand, alone, we fall."

From his own words, Dr. Nguyen describes himself as a dentist by circumstances, an entrepreneur by nature and a communicator by passion.
