The screenings use SmartScan technology and can be done through a mobile phone. The scans screen customers for potential dental health problems, including cavities and gum disease, according to an Aug. 17 news release from Cigna.
The customer takes five guided photos of their teeth and mouth, which are then analyzed by SmartScan and reviewed by a dentist in the Cigna network.
The service is part of Cigna Dental Health Connect, which is available to more than 16.5 million Cigna customers, the release said.
