Local dentists can provide photo or video-based care to visitors
FREMONT, CA: "At quip, we are excited to be expanding our offerings to millions more Americans in need of professional dental care," said Simon Enever, Co-Founder and CEO of quip. "We recognize the impact of telehealth over the past few years and see the need for teledentistry solutions that can improve access to care for Americans who may have trouble regularly accessing a dentist, whether due to geographical limitations or medical restrictions. By collaborating with Walmart, we hope to simplify and improve oral care nationwide through our unique dental products and services platform."
Quip, a business that provides modern oral health services, unveiled a groundbreaking partnership with Walmart to provide its consumers with full-service virtual dental care.
The COVID-19 epidemic had a long-lasting effect on missed dental exams and appointments. Therefore quip is working to put more emphasis on preventative oral care and improve access to medical care when necessary. Even with advancements in oral health since the start of the epidemic, significant gaps still need to be addressed, according to a survey done by the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health in 2022.
Five minutes and a phone are all you need to use quip's virtual care services. Users choose from a photo consult, which is great for a preventative check-up to assess specific issues visible in the mouth, or a live video consult, which is perfect for triaging emergencies and prescribing solutions to pain after answering a few multiple-choice questions about their general and oral health.
