Teledentistry and Digital Imaging Leader MouthWatch Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation and Growth
Metuchen,
NJ – April 20 2022 – MouthWatch, LLC, recognized throughout the dental industry
as a leader in teledentistry solutions and digital imaging devices, recently
marked its 10-year anniversary of innovation and growth.
According to the company’s founder
and CEO Brant Herman, “MouthWatch wasn’t born in a garage, like many other
technology companies, but rather in an unused operatory in my father, Dr. Jerry
Herman’s midtown Manhattan dental practice. I often reflect on our good
fortune and how far we’ve come.”
Today, the company employs 25 people
and is synonymous with teledentistry due to its award-winning, cloud-based
TeleDent™ platform and also its MouthWatch award-winning intraoral cameras
among dental professionals. About half of those employees work in the company’s
warehouse and offices, which are located across the street from each other in
Metuchen, New Jersey. The other half work virtually from well-equipped home
office locations dispersed throughout the United States.
At first, the virtual workforce was a
necessity because the company simply didn’t have the office space. “We had to
become comfortable with the virtual workforce model long before other companies
were forced to adopt it,” explains company co-founder and COO, Bob Bellhouse.
“This enabled us to attract the best and brightest team members, several of
them dental hygiene thought leaders, who were instrumental in propelling our
growth.”
Already having a virtual workforce in
place enabled the company to quickly transition to an almost fully virtual operation
during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We were fully operational when
dentists were prohibited from seeing patients’ with the exception of
emergencies, and urgently needed a professional grade teledentistry solution to
maintain patient contact.”
The MouthWatch virtual workforce,
combined with a superior, secure solution, gave the company a competitive edge
in the emerging teledentistry category. It also enabled it to launch the MouthWatch
Plus+, a true 1080p intraoral camera that delivered high definition and high
quality, at an affordable price.
“Why launch a product during a
pandemic?” asks Herman. “We quickly learned that while their offices were
closed down, many dental practice owners were using their downtime to assess
and upgrade their equipment before their patients returned to the office. What’s
more, dentists had been asking us to introduce an affordable HD intraoral
camera for several years.”
Herman’s vision for the next 10 years
is to enhance and create dental software and devices that will make dentistry
more efficient, accessible, and better integrated with physicians and other
allied healthcare providers. “Our goal is for MouthWatch to be known as the
trusted dental technology company that made intraoral imaging affordable for
every dental office, and also spearheaded the adoption of teledentistry to transform
the delivery of dental
care across every healthcare touchpoint.”
