Teledentistry Embraced by American Association of Dental Boards in New Directive

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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.” About SmileDirectClub
