Oral Medicine Telehealth Services

Carolina Dentistry is now offering telehealth services for oral medicine! Oral medicine specialists provide specialized oral health care of medically complex patients as well as diagnose and treat medical disorders that affect the mouth.

At your free initial appointment, the patient care coordinator will go over your health history. They will help set up your next appointment: a video consultation with one of our providers.

The oral medicine telehealth service participates with all medical insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid.
