FRISCO, Texas (September 10, 2021) - Texans across the state will now be able to access DialCare Teledentistry services for virtual dental care through phone or video chat. DialCare's Teledentistry program offers 24/7/365 virtual access to licensed dentists via phone or video consultation for advice and diagnoses on oral health concerns and second opinions. In the pandemic era, it is now more important than ever to provide access to care from the safety of home.
Texas House Bill 2056, the bill that Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law to make teledentistry services available throughout the state, is now in effect. DialCare was instrumental to the law's passage and is pleased to make its teledentistry program available throughout its home state. Individuals and organizations can sign up at the DialCare website here.
