“Low-income residents in the San Fernando Valley will receive improved access to dental care, thanks to a new telemedicine project created by the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.
The groundbreaking, four-year pilot project will address the access-to-care crisis in California by connecting patients in need with critical dental services. Known as the Virtual Dental Home, the project will give participating dentists a simple yet secure means to electronically review patient’s dental records remotely with help from dental hygienists and dental assistants in underserved communities. After the review of records, the dentist will be able to recommend a plan for addressing the patient’s dental needs.”
