Hawaii Dental Service Launches HDS Virtual Visits Delivered by TeleDentistry.com.
New Service Provides 24/7/365 Access to Emergency Dental Care

Hawaii Dental Service (HDS) members now have access to emergency dental care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – even when their regular dentist is unavailable, thanks to a new partnership between HDS and TeleDentistry.com, a leading national telehealth provider of virtual dental care. This new, valuable service is a covered benefit for members whose plans include coverage for oral exams but is not available for Medicaid or Medicare beneficiaries at this time.

This convenient service is ideal to receive clinical guidance during dental emergencies or if members need access to a dentist after-hours. For example, if patients face a late-night dental emergency, on a weekend or holiday, they may be unsure if they should go to the emergency room or wait until the next business day to see their local dentist. HDS members can now be assured of all-day virtual access to a licensed Hawaii dentist with the new HDS Virtual Visits delivered by Teledentistry.com.

“HDS continues to implement convenient and innovative dental services for our members. Our partnership with Teledentistry.com will help members get immediate attention without visiting the ER if they are experiencing a dental emergency and cannot reach their regular dentist,” said Dr. Diane Paloma, President and CEO of Hawaii Dental Service.

Members can access HDS Virtual Visits by following three simple steps. They can visit the HDS Virtual Visits patient portal at HawaiiDentalService.com or call 1-866-302-0114, fill out any necessary online forms, and then connect with a Teledentistry.com dentist to begin their consultation. After the consultation, TeleDentistry.com will refer the HDS member to a local in-network HDS dentist for further treatment or followup – allowing HDS participating dentists to expand the scope of their services with TeleDentistry.com’s around-the-clock support.

“Teledentistry.com is dedicated to improving access to dental care. Our team of dentists are ready to help with a virtual consultation, prescribe medications as appropriate, and then refer them to a local in-network dentist for regular care,” said Dr. Vilas Sastry CEO of Teledentistry.com.

“We are proud to partner with Hawaii Dental Service to help support their members with a virtual dentist anytime, anywhere.”
Members can use the HDS Virtual Visits service when they:
• are having a dental emergency and do not have access to a dentist;
• need access to a dentist consultation after-hours; or
• need a consult with a dentist without leaving home or while traveling.
HDS Virtual Visits do not replace your regular dentist exams, cleanings, or followup care. More information on Hawaii Dental Service (HDS)
Virtual Visits is available at HawaiiDentalService.com.
