Technical Assistance
The DentaQuest Institute is here to help. We work with oral health care providers across the country to make improvements to their clinical care protocols, practice management processes and use of technology – all with an emphasis on preventing and managing oral disease. Building on comprehensive expertise, including our staff’s years of experience in the field, the experience our national clinical partners, and our own learnings at our 15,000-patient dental practice, we have developed technical assistance capabilities in the following areas:
- Risk assessment
- Risk-based treatment planning
- Implementing oral disease management protocols
- Early childhood caries
- Dental sealants
- Incorporating preventive therapies into routine practice
- Practice management for financial sustainability in safety net settings
- New safety net dental program start-up
- Dental informatics
- Choosing and electronic dental record
- Implementing a patient registry to track disease and risk factors
We tailor our technical assistance work to the individual needs and goals of our clients. We’ve helped some programs implement risk assessment into their practice, while we’ve worked with others on a range issues from financial sustainability to implementing results-focused clinical protocols of care.
