Irvine, Calif.-based Pacific Dental Services announced April 1 the launch of a teledentistry platform.
The platform is available to anyone with a smart phone, tablet or computer. After logging into the platform, patients will consult with a PDS-supported dentist that will review the patient's symptoms through a live video.
If the patient needs to be treated in-person, the dentist will schedule an appointment the same day. The platform was created with RingCentral, a provider of cloud communications.
Pacific Dental Services is among the largest dental service organizations in the country with more than 800 affiliated practices in 22 states.
