Thispartnership provides help with dental emergencies, answers to oral/overallhealth issues, product recommendations, and more.
Integrating virtual dentalconsultations is vital for inhibiting and reversing harmful oral side effectsof several types of cancer therapies. Oral side effects can potentially delayor complicate cancer treatments, therefore compromising the patient's abilityto beat these terrible diseases. Speaking with a virtual dentist will improvehealth outcomes, lower health care costs, and improve health care quality.

While oral health improves patient comfort, treatmentoutcomes, and quality of life into survivorship, it remains an area of needthat is often unmet. This is a major step in filling that void. “
