As practices have resumed operations and are actively seeing patients in-person, many have also continued to employ teledentistry. Enter the ‘hybrid model’ where dentists are conducting patient appointments and communications through both live, in-person visits, and through a telehealth platform. In this scenario, practices are seeing patients in-person when clinically appropriate, but are preserving PPE, reducing disinfection and wait times between patients, and keeping a full schedule while practicing social distancing -- all by using teledentistry where they can.
Join Dr. Nathan Suter, practicing general dentist and owner of Access Teledentistry, for a review of ways that telehealth can support a hybrid in-person/teledentistry model, including using telehealth appointments to:
- Ask patients to submit pictures and a questionnaire for review before an appointment
- Ramp up hygiene and catch up on backlogged recall
- Conduct consult conversations between the dentist or treatment plan coordinator and patient to answer questions
- Facilitate a referral for a consult from a specialist
