METUCHEN, N.J.—MouthWatch recently announced the formation of a TeleDent COVID-19 Advisory Board. The group of teledentistry thought leaders will help the company develop practice protocols for implementing teledentistry in the new reality of urgent care only. The team will also assist the company with creating timely teledentistry-focused education and training materials.

Topics covered will include the following:

Establishing oral triage protocols
Implementing proper coding 
Coordinating dental team participation
Developing virtual workflows
Conducting live consultations
Explaining legal and regulatory parameters

“Many care providers are trying to figure out how to properly implement teledentistry so they can deliver urgent patient care. Our goal is to fill this information gap and to also ensure that teledentistry adoption and utilization continues long after the pandemic is over. I’m confident that we have the right advisory board in place to help us achieve these goals," said MouthWatch CEO and founder Brant Herman.

The TeleDent COVID-19 Advisory Board consists of:

- Margaret Scarlett DMD, an infectious and chronic disease prevention specialist, dentist and author. 
- Paul Glassman, DDS, MA, MBA, the founder of the Virtual Dental Home Program.
- Dr. Scott Howell, DMD, MPH, FSCD, an assistant professor and director of teledentistry at A.T. Still University, Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health. 
- Scott H. Froum, DDS, a board-certified periodontist and a clinical associate professor at SUNY Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine in the department of periodontics.
- Patti DiGangi, RDH, BS, who specializes in medically necessary coding. She is a strong advocate of teledentistry and the co-author of "Teledentistry: Pathway to Prosperity, Critical Choices".
- Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH, a practicing hygienist, speaker, writer, content developer, consultant, and podcast cohost for A Tale of Two Hygienists. She currently uses teledentistry in her volunteer work with a dental clinic in South Carolina.
