Are dental emergencies sending you to an ER that can’t treat them? And could your mouth reveal clues about your long-term health?
Dr. Vilas Sastri explains how TeleDentistry.com offers virtual dental care as an alternative to the ER, including prescriptions for immediate relief and referrals to local dentists. He discusses the Smarty Plan, a discount membership for uninsured families, and how preventive dentistry and saliva testing can help assess oral-health risks. The conversation also covers links between oral health and systemic conditions, along with home impression kits and products shipped to patients. Lindsay’s episode shares Dr. Sastri’s recommendations for check-ups, gum care, brushing, and flossing.
