A pediatric public health program and dental imaging company are partnering to bring a teledentistry pilot program to schools in Marion County in South Carolina.
Through the program, imaging company MouthWatch will provide its intraoral scanners and teledentistry software to ChildSmiles Dental, an organization that provides school-based dental prevention programs. ChildSmiles Dental will then organize for local dentists to remotely screen school kids for oral diseases.
MouthWatch will use the pilot program as a case study. It is also looking to create similar programs in other areas.
