Teledentistry Embraced by American Association of Dental Boards in New Directive
March 17 2020 - 4:15PM
SmileDirectClub, the industry pioneer and first direct-to-consumer
medtech platform for teeth straightening, reports that the American
Association of Dental Boards (“AADB”) has issued the first
Telehealth Directive to its member dental boards touting the
necessity for accessible care through teledentistry. The AADB also
announced it will release more in the future that will focus on
statutes or regulations, legal decisions by the courts, or
information on issues to protect the public.
In response, SmileDirectClub Chief Executive Officer David
Katzman made the following statement:
“We are completely aligned with the American Association of
Dental Boards’ aim to ensure people have access to care and applaud
the organization for issuing a directive that clearly points to the
importance of teledentistry for the industry at large. More than
ever before, it is evident that in-person contact is not always
possible or the best option, and we remain steadfast in our efforts
to illustrate how restrictive decisions made by lawmakers can truly
hurt patients and their ability to receive affordable, quality
care. We look forward to the opportunity to continue working with
the AADB, State Dental Boards and Associations, as well as their
members, across the country to further strengthen doctor-directed
teledentistry and how it benefits both the patient and the
provider.”
