Smile Direct Club Applauds New Utah Teledentistry Law
April 01 2020 - 8:00PM
Following Utah Governor Gary Herbert’s signature yesterday on Utah
Senate Bill 0135, an amendment to the state’s dental practice act
that defines and protects the practice of teledentistry,
SmileDirectClub Chief Legal Officer and EVP Business Affairs Susan
Greenspon Rammelt made the following statement:
“SmileDirectClub is pleased that Governor Herbert signed this
bill, ensuring that all Utahns will be able to receive safe and
effective oral care using teledentistry. In a time when the global
COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the need for telehealth solutions
more than ever before, the use of technology to maintain a safe and
convenient standard of care between providers and patients is
critical, and SmileDirectClub applauds the steps Utah has taken to
embrace this technology for the practice of dentistry.
As the leader and pioneer in teledentistry, SmileDirectClub has
recently opened its platform to new providers and announced its
wholesale plans for later in 2020. SmileDirectClub looks forward to
continuing our work with the dental community to put technology to
use in advancing patient oral care.”
