Requires that a dentist providing teledentistry must provide the patient with his or her name, direct telephone number, and physical practice address.

In the provisions concerning teledentistry, changes the definition of "patient of record".

Provides that a provider of dental services rendering emergent care or conducting an initial consultation through teledentistry must direct the patient to receive appropriate in-person care after the provision of teledentistry services.
