How to do Teledentistry
-
The client will be greeted with aloha and will be assessed by the dental hygiene student and through teledentistry, the dentist.
-
Gather diagnostic information such as extra oral and intra oral images and radiographs for the dentist to review.
-
The preventive and therapeutic services will be authorized and care will be delivered. The clients will receive dental cleanings, periodontal therapy, dental sealants, fluoride, and other dental hygiene services.
-
All clients who need complex dental treatment will be referred to the dentist for care.
Dental Assessment
-
The teledental hygienist gathers dental assessment information such as medical and dental history, oral health status, indices for plaque bacteria biofilm, calculus indicies, and performs oral cancer examinations.
-
The extraoral and intraoral photographs are taken and uploaded to the client's digital chart in the laptop computer software.
HIPAA Compliant
Dental practice management software allows us to keep Electronic Health Records (EHR), all while protecting the client's privacy to adhere to the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The EHR information will be securely transmitted to the dentist for evaluation.
Oral Evaluation
The periodontal status and oral health status of the client is evaluated. Periodontal probing depths are inputted into the computer for real time viewing from the teledentist.
