Minnetonka, Minnesota Sep 9, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - The TeleDentists and Toothapps are collectively working to expand the reach of dental care into one of the most necessary locations; the hospital emergency room. Currently approximately one-third of all dental emergencies in the US are seen within an ER, unnecessarily costing an estimated two million patients each an average of $1200 dollars and 4 wasted hours annually.
Now, through the Toothapps Patient app, any patient can easily and affordably receive a TeleDentists consultation and immediately get a dentists perspective regarding their emergent needs.
Toothapps leverages current industry Standards to align the dental profession, empowering dentists and patients to access Electronic Dental Records, as mandated by HIPAA and the 21st Century Cures Act, so patients can receive the care they deserve. By offering consultations with The Teledentists, Toothapps can now offer dental consultations with The TeleDentists anywhere, anytime.
After people download the new Toothapps Patient application, they can connect through The TeleDentists platform for a video consultation with a dentist. The TeleDentists will connect patients with a dentist licensed in their State, so that they can review their symptoms, recommend treatments, and even e-prescribe any non-narcotic medication.
The TeleDentists and Toothapps collaboration allows people to find the appropriate specialist for their dental concerns, connect immediately for triage and pain remediation, and then schedule appointments in dental offices located near them, all through the Patient application.
The TeleDentists Co-Founder and CEO, Dr. Maria Kunstadter states, We are excited to work together to provide more people access to a virtual dentist so they can avoid costly, time-consuming emergency room visits where there is no dentist. We provide the right specialist at the right time, right at your fingertips.
We, at Toothapps, are looking to solve the biggest problems in dentistry through secure, interoperable EDR data accessibility to those that need it, when they need it, says Toothapps CEO, Dr. Bryan Laskin. The Teledentists provide an invaluable resource to patients by allowing immediate consults to those that do not have a dental home, as well as for those for whom the dentist is not available.
Including The TeleDentists on the Toothapps Patient application is an incredible added service, offering virtual dental care to consumers. Integrated teledental consultations will let patients confer with a dentist regarding their dental concerns and receive recommendations. The collaboration of The TeleDentists and Toothapps is applied innovation to elevate patient care.
