Dr. Maria Kunstadter, President and Co-Founder of The TeleDentists, has been appointed to the Advisory Board of CTeL as the first dental professional on the board. CTeL, which is The is an important resource for U.S.-based healthcare practitioners. It offers information about law, ehealth, telemedicine and telehealth. With the appointment of Dr. Kunstadter, CTeL is integrating the dental profession and teledentistry as part of their advisory board.
“This is a huge step for TeleDentistry to be included now, since teledentistry has become a vital healthcare solution during the Covid19 pandemic. Now, I hope to be active with CTeL so that teledentistry continues to be a key player in the telehealth arena,” says Dr. Kunstadter.
CTeL’s future planned publications include a 50-state analysis of prescribing standards for telemedicine, doctors’ liability if you do not use telemedicine and standards of care to follow, which applies to the practices of teledentistry as a subspeciality of medicine. Appointing Dr. Kunstadter to the advisory board is a big step towards advancing teledentistry even more.
“We are so pleased to have Dr. Kunstadter join our Advisory Board,” said CTeL Executive Director Christa Natoli. “She brings a wealth of experience in the dental space and is a trailblazer in teledentistry. We look forward to her guidance as we provide education and advocacy for the telehealth community.”
