Henry Schein is now offering TeleDent by MouthWatch, a teledentistry and patient engagement platform that incorporates live video conferencing, patient messaging, and cloud collaboration to ensure a seamless integration into the dental practice, according to the companies.
Available through Henry Schein Dental and Henry Schein One, TeleDent offers real-time, two-way video conferencing so practitioners can conduct emergency triages, consultations, pre-visit screenings, post-op visits, and visual case presentations virtually.
Using TeleDent, dentists can connect with patients through a desktop or mobile devices, and their consultations can be recorded for integration into clinical care and patient records to help ensure effective and thorough virtual dental care, all while complying with HIPAA regulations.
“Dental practices are rapidly implementing new solutions to provide patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and TeleDent is truly a comprehensive solution that allows our customers to provide safe, efficient care for their patients,” said Jonathan Koch, senior vice president and chief executive officer of the Henry Schein Global Dental Group.
“With TeleDent’s simple, collaborative platform, our customers can seamlessly integrate teledentistry into their practice workflow,” said Koch, who also is interim chief executive officer of Henry Schein One.
The patient-facing messaging included in the TeleDent platform is designed so practitioners can communicate directly with patients as well as seamlessly collaborate and share diagnostic information with their dental team and specialists in a cloud-based portal.
Also, the dental team can easily transition patients to a specialist and see their task assignments within the TeleDent platform, the companies said.
“We developed TeleDent to help dental professionals serve their patients anytime, anywhere, and it’s now more important than ever that dentists are able to provide care safely and efficiently,” said Brant Herman, CEO of MouthWatch.
“We’re very excited to introduce TeleDent to Henry Schein Dental and Henry Schein One customers to promote the widespread adoption of teledentistry during a time when safely connecting providers with patients is of the utmost importance,” said Herman.
The TeleDent platform also recently was named a 2020 Cellerant Best of Class Technology award winner.
“We’re deeply honored and appreciative to be recognized by the renowned panel of Cellerant judges for TeleDent,” said Herman. “Although TeleDent was selected for the Best of Class Award back in February, more recently it has been proving itself to be indispensable dental technology in the new normal of COVID-19.”
