Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz talks with Patti DiGangi, RDH, and Brant Herman, CEO of Mouthwatch, about the use of teledentistry during this period of office shutdowns. DiGangi has been promoting teledentistry for quite some time (and how to code for it). She believes now is the perfect opportunity for dentists to learn it and use it with their patients. Herman discusses some of the many opportunities that teledentistry offers dental practices and patients, now and after the pandemic.
