Episode # 16 Telehealth and the benefits for integrative oral health care. With Dr Christine May

What is integrative dental care?  As an experienced dentist and Chinese medicine practitioner, Dr Christine May BDS (Hons) BHSc(TCM) explains the integrative dentistry concept, and we get an insight into the relationship that diet and lifestyle have on oral health from this perspective.

Dr May operates her successful FaceWell integrative dentistry ”clinic” via telehealth FaceWell.com.au and also has teledentistry dental advice service for patients and practitioners –Hellovide.com.au  We discuss the way telehealth concept can benefit the individual client and how this method is already assisting her clients to achieve improved oral-systemic outcomes.  The telehealth concept is increasingly accepted as a means of sourcing and providing expert advice and is proving to be a valuable aid in the preparation for more conventional face to face dental services.

Dr May is leading the way in this area in Australia and has been generous in sharing her experiences with other dental practitioners as the profession faces new challenges in 2020.
