How It Works: The Teledentistry Screening Procedure
Our process leverages sophisticated digital technologies to evaluate salivary gland function remotely, combining real-time video assessments, digital questionnaires, and guided self-examinations to deliver personalized management strategies.
Digital Intake & Video Consult
Patients complete comprehensive pre-consultation forms. A secure, high-definition video connection then enables visual inspection of oral tissues and real-time interaction.
Guided Self-Exam & Testing
The clinician directs the patient through self-assessment, including salivary gland palpation, oral moisture strip testing, and a supervised salivary flow collection for objective measurement.
Automated Analysis & Plan
Data from symptom scoring and photographic evidence is processed by AI-powered algorithms to generate a preliminary xerostomia severity classification and a personalized treatment plan.
