The TeleDentists, Orofacial Therapeutics Collaboration Aims to Help Those in Pain
Under the partnership, patients can arrange for a virtual consultation, and if appropriate, a Speed2Treat® Head, Neck & Jaw Pain Home Healing Kit will be recommended.
A collaboration between The TeleDentists® and Orofacial Therapeutics to combat acute jaw pain, TMJ flare-ups, and other pain of the head, neck, and jaw aims to help people in pain get on a path to healing, quickly and affordably, from initial low-cost consultation, to follow-up care.
TheTeleDentistsis a new way for people to treat urgent oral and dental problems. The company’s proprietary national network of experienced, Board Licensed dentists are on-call and available round-the-clock to provide virtual dental consults via laptop, tablet, or smart phone.
Often people don't know where to get help for jaw pain or TMJ symptoms. Now getting care is easy and affordable, says Ann McCulloch, President of Orofacial Therapeutics.
Under the partnership, patients can arrange for a virtual consultation with The TeleDentists. If appropriate, a Speed2Treat® Head, Neck & Jaw Pain Home Healing Kit will be recommended. The kit includes a temporary oral appliance to be worn while sleeping, hot and cold packs to reduce inflammation and sooth muscles, and a step-by-step plan of self-care to combat pain and disability. The Healing Kit includes online video support by Dr. James Fricton, one of the world's foremost authorities on treating orofacial pain.
The TeleDentists can provide an initial consultation and healing kit for less than
$150, no insurance needed, according to Dr Maria Kunstadter, president, and co-founder of the company. Also, for those with more complex conditions that require specialized care, The TeleDentists can help connect with specialized providers.
The companies are encouraging patients to seek care for:
- Jaw pain and TMJ flare-ups
- Limited range of jaw motion, difficulty, or pain, upon chewing
- Tension headaches, or other head and neck pain, from clenching or grinding teeth (bruxism)
- Blow to the jaw
- Whiplash and headache from a slip-and-fall accident, sports-related injury, or motor vehicle accident
