The purpose of tele-dentistry is to evaluate emergency situations ONLY where there is pain/infection/swelling/discomfort.
If you have severe swelling (eye closing/shutting or swelling under the chin), please see ER/urgent care immediately, as your situation is very severe and can become life-threatening.
With this option, you will have the opportunity for a live video conference with Dr. Nguyen and have all your questions answered. He has access to your records and will diagnose your condition to the best of his ability remotely and prescribe you any medications as necessary.
The fee for remote tele-dentistry is $129. We will require your credit card for payment, and if you have insurance, we will bill your insurance and issue you a credit or refund check if applicable.
To Schedule A Remote Session:
Take the best possible pictures of the area of concern. It may be helpful for a second person to turn on the light on their camera and a second phone to take a picture. Do your best to take pictures of the tooth/area/swelling. Please do your best to note symptoms as accurately as possible.
- If you are not currently a patient, please fill out this paperwork, scan it, and email it to midlothianlegacy@gmail.com along with the information requested in #3. No tele-dentistry appointments will be scheduled without complete, signed, and scanned paperwork.
- Email photos to midlothianlegacy@gmail.com.
- You will receive a phone call to schedule your video appointment, as well as to go over your payment options. Video appointments will be scheduled for Monday through Thursday, between 8 am and 5 pm.
- Dr. Nguyen will be able to remotely access your existing chart and review any existing x-rays/images prior to your consultation.
- You will receive a link to Zoom webchat via email for webchat and a scheduled time (soon after your phone call to schedule). Your email will have information on how to get Zoom for your computer or phone.
