Dental Optimizer tools now available for employers, insurance carriers

Healthy Grid's Dental Optimizer tools are now available for employers and insurance companies to engage patients and improve their dental health.

The tools are also designed to assist patients as they navigate changes in the dental healthcare field, the company noted. After the Dental Optimizer program was developed, and dentists and patients began using the tool, the company began to get inquiries from insurances providers: Could they use the Dental Optimizer under their name to help their clients?

Dental Optimizer takes patient information and helps the patient find the best dentist near them, while offering information about preventive opportunities, common teeth problems, and costs of common dental procedures. Patients can also use the program to contact a dentist about a problem through the ask-a-dentist feature.

The best dentist finder program connects patients to nearby dentists whose services match their needs. Patients submit information such as age, special needs, current tooth issues, and dental history. The dentists' profiles include information such as specialties, location, and languages spoken, as well as links to publications by the dentists. There is also a patient review section.

For employers and insurance companies, the Dental Optimizer will be available with all of its features in a white label form that can be branded.
