TELEDENTISTRY EXAMINATIONS

Summary

The bill changes the Illinois Dental Practice Act so dentists can do a first exam by video for new patients if they verify the patient’s identity, location, and review their medical and dental history, but orthodontic exams must still be face‑to‑face. It also requires a physical exam right before any treatment that cannot be undone and encourages patients to see their dentist in person at least once a year. These rules aim to expand tele‑dental services while protecting patient safety.
