the California Northstate University (CNU) College of Dental Medicine (CDM) have extensive
experience supporting providers in using teledentistry to reach people who might otherwise
not have access to care. However, the way tele‐dentistry has been used in these systems needs
to be altered now. They have prepared this guide for dental providers and practices to use in
developing systems that can be effective in the current environment.
