Rooted in the belief that everyone should have a fair opportunity to achieve their best health, Aetna's innovative solutions aim to reach more people and provide them with a higher level of care.
Dentists are healthcare providers who diagnose and treat oral health conditions. Caring for your gums and teeth helps prevent oral diseases and reduces your risk for other severe conditions, such as stroke and heart disease. Dentists provide regular dental checkups and cleanings. They also perform oral health treatments, including dental fillings, bridges, and crowns.
Dentists offer treatments in three key areas:
Dentists complete a pre-medical undergraduate degree and spend four years in dental school, which includes two years of biomedical science studies and two years of clinical practice. After graduating with a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or a DDM (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree, they clear written and practical exams to earn their dental license.
Dentists might then obtain certification by passing the National Board Dental Examination. Further, based on their area of specialty, they might need to complete a postgraduate residency of one to three years. They can choose from the following specialties:

The concept of telehealth is not a new one. It uses digital information and communication technology to provide remote or virtual access to healthcare. Telemedicine offers accessible primary care to individuals with limited mobility, time, or transportation. With virtual care, many healthcare providers, including mental health counselors, nurses, and medical specialists, can coordinate and manage care for their patients through a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access.
Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there has also been an increased interest in using telemedicine technologies in dentistry. Telemedicine in dentistry may be referred to as "teledentistry." In addition to having a live two-way interaction between the patient and provider, it also involves the exchange of recorded health information ( such as radiographs, photographs, digital impressions, and photomicrographs) through a secure electronic communications system to a practitioner.
Historically, direct or in-person examination has been the most direct and efficient method of providing oral care. However, the American Dental Association believes that examinations performed via teledentistry allow dentists to expand their reach to populations with significant geographic distances and varied locations, subsequently reducing the effect of distance barriers to dental care. Additionally, research shows that teledentistry is a practical and cost-effective way to increase access to oral healthcare among rural and disadvantaged children. When the costs of and barriers to accessing oral health care are reduced, the oral health outcomes for underserved children improve.
