About 7 to 7 Dental & Orthodontics
7 to 7 Dental & Orthodontics is a dental and orthodontic practice headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, operating 12 locations across the San Antonio metro area and Cibolo, Texas. Founded in 2008, the practice offers general dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, emergency dental services, and pediatric dentistry, and employs approximately 20 dental providers. Because the practice serves thousands of patients across multiple locations, it collects personal information from a large number of individuals, making the security of that data particularly important.
What Happened?
7 to 7 Dental & Orthodontics was listed in a Texas Attorney General data security breach report (record BR-0005336), published on September 17th, 2026. The breach occurred and was discovered on August 22nd, 2026, and affected 3,526 individuals. The Texas AG filing describes the type of information involved as “Other,” with no further specifics provided. As of the date the report was published, 7 to 7 Dental & Orthodontics had not yet provided notice to affected consumers.
Texas law requires businesses to report breaches affecting 250 or more Texans to the Attorney General within 30 days of discovery and to notify affected consumers. The filing was submitted approximately 26 days after the breach date, within the statutory window. However, the lack of consumer notification at the time of filing is notable, and affected individuals may not yet have received direct notice. No independent media coverage, ransomware group claims, or litigation related to this incident were identified as of September 17th, 2026.
