The ADA Guidelines for Teledentistry: A Complete Guide

ada-guidelines-for-teledentistry

ADA Guidelines for Teledentistry provide a set of standards that ensure the provision of safe, effective, and ethical dental care through the use of technology. Teledentistry is a way to provide medical care and oral health information to patients at a distant site or to integrate care providers of medical care provision.

Patients can now access information on oral services, dental exams, and diagnosis from a range of professionals through teledentistry, bridging the gap between physicians and patients and making affordable dental services more accessible. As a result, many dentists are seeking out Telemedicine Software Development Companies to keep up with the advancements in technology and provide the best care possible to their patients.

The American Dental Association (ADA) introduced a detailed policy statement on teledentistry in November 2015 and described it as “a hybrid of telecommunications and dentistry involving the sharing of clinical knowledge and photographs for a dental consultation and care preparation over distances.” The policy further discusses the approach used to provide such programs.

In this article, we will discuss ADA Guidelines for Teledentistry. But first, let’s have a brief introduction to teledentistry.

  • Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): Collection of personal health and medical data by an individual at one location by electronic communication systems, and is sent to a facility (sometimes by a data processing service) at a separate location for use of treatment and related assistance.
  • Mobile Health (mHealth): Public health and wellbeing services assisted by electronic communications technologies such as cell phones, tablet computers, and personal digital assistants (PDA).
