MouthWatch, LLC’s Dentistry.One virtual-first dental care solution has been selected by Arrow Dental to provide emergency virtual dental care for after-hours and weekend consultations.

Oregon-based Arrow Dental is a dental care organization offering comprehensive dental services including routine dental care, restorative therapy, and specialty services to Medicaid and private insurance members across the state through 9 offices and a fully equipped mobile clinic.

“Our partnership with Dentistry.One aims to improve dental care accessibility for Oregon Medicaid patients and others we serve, especially when it comes to dental emergencies,” Aimee Wynn, director of operations at Arrow Dental, says in a press release. “Dentistry.One will serve as our virtual after-hours urgent care service, helping to reduce unnecessary visits to hospital emergency rooms for dental concerns. Furthermore, we can help support our staff by knowing that patients are able to talk to a dentist, no matter the day or time.”

Dentistry.One expects this new partnership to help patients stay healthy and reduce emergency room visits.

“Dentistry.One can help patients no matter when or where they need dental expertise, and through our emergency consultation and then coordinating care to make sure patients get into an Arrow Clinic,” adds Brant Herman, founder & chief executive officer of Dentistry.One. “Through this partnership, we’re able to keep patients healthy and out of Emergency Departments. Our service streamlines the after-hours emergency dental care process, from initial contact through care coordination and billing, to scheduling in-office treatment during business hours.”
