About Us *
Christian Baltar
Co-Founder
Christian Baltar is a committed co-founder of Smiles on the Spectrum, a student-led initiative focused on making dental care more predictable, accessible, and supportive for autistic, sensory-sensitive, and anxious patients. His work began with a simple observation: many patients do not fear care itself as much as they fear the uncertainty surrounding it.
Through Smiles on the Spectrum, Christian is working to create practical tools that help patients understand what to expect before they arrive at the dental office. His vision combines patient preparation, sensory-aware education, virtual office tours, and DentCue, a guided dental preparation app currently in development.
As a student interested in healthcare, accessibility, and patient-centered innovation, Christian hopes to help dental offices better support patients before the appointment begins, making oral healthcare feel less intimidating and more approachable for the communities that need it most.
