Your Patients’ Medical Records
Shouldn’t End at the Operatory Door
Periodontal disease affects 42% of U.S. adults over 30 and it is linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and Alzheimer’s. DentuluPro gives your practice the platform to screen, share records, coordinate with physicians, and bill medical insurance without replacing your PMS.
“What Happens in the Mouth Doesn’t
Stay in the Mouth”
The Clinical Case: Oral Health Is Systemic Health
Dentistry’s Role in Whole–Body Health Closing the Medical–Dental Gap
You see these patients. Do you flag and document systemic risk?
DentuluPro adds structure. Screen, coordinate, standardize.
The science is clear. Periodontal disease impacts systemic health.
Health leaders agree. Medical–dental integration is essential.
Care remains fragmented. Records are siloed, referrals outdated.
Oral-Systemic Connection Table
Cardiovascular Disease
Periodontal disease is linked to atherosclerosis and stroke; oral bacteria found in arteries. Treatment improves vascular function and reduces inflammation.
Diabetes (Type 2)
Periodontal disease worsens glycemic control (higher HbA1c), and hyperglycemia worsens periodontal outcomes; independent risk factor.
Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes
Periodontitis associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia; oral bacteria can enter bloodstream and reach placental tissue
Respiratory Disease
Aspiration of oral pathogens linked to pneumonia and COPD exacerbation; oral hygiene interventions reduce hospital-acquired pneumonia risk
Alzheimer’s / Dementia
P. gingivalis and its toxins (gingipains) found in brain tissue of Alzheimer’s patients; periodontal disease associated with cognitive decline
Chronic Kidney Disease
Higher periodontitis prevalence in CKD populations; chronic oral inflammation contributes to elevated CRP, an independent mortality risk factor in CKD
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Shared inflammatory pathways; P. gingivalis implicated in citrullination process that triggers autoimmune response.
Metabolic Syndrome / Obesity
Meta-analyses show periodontitis associated with metabolic syndrome components; inflammatory and microbial mechanisms
The Integration Layer Between Your Dental Practice and the Medical System
DentuluPro doesn’t replace your practice management software. It sits alongside connecting your clinical workflows to the medical ecosystem through telehealth, shared records, physician collaboration, and FHIR-ready data exchange.
Systemic Risk Screening
Screening questionnaires during intake (diabetes risk, cardiovascular history, medication review). Auto-flagging for physician coordination.
PMS Integration
Syncs with Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, and others so your team doesn’t need to re-enter data.
HIPAA Telehealth
Encrypted video consultations for interdisciplinary case discussions, post-surgical follow-ups, Patient education links dental and medical providers.
Referral Management
Bidirectional referral workflows: dentist-to-physician and physician-to-dentist. Track referral status, outcomes, and follow-up from a single dashboard.
Salivary Diagnostics Integration
Link molecular screening data to the patient’s record. Share pathogen profiles with the medical team.
Shared Health Records (FHIR-Ready)
DentuluPro supports FHIR for structured health data exchange Share findings, lab results, and diagnoses.
Physician Collaboration
Portal
Share clinical findings and images with a patient’s physician directly. Physicians can review and respond without faxes.
Medical Billing
Guidance
Templates and coding guidance for services crossing medical-dental boundaries.
From Screening to Shared Care
in Five Steps
See how DentuluPro bridges gaps between your dental workflows and the medical ecosystem.
Screen During Routine Visits
During hygiene appointments or new patient intake, the patient completes a brief systemic health questionnaire on a tablet. The system flags patients with high-risk conditions.
Identify Oral-Systemic Risk
Clinicians correlate periodontal examination findings with medical history to identify risk. DentuluPro flags clinical findings (periodontal charting, BOP) that may affect systemic health.
Share Findings With the Physician
With one click, share a structured clinical summary with the PCP via the collaboration portal. Includes periodontal status and follow-up.
Coordinate the Care Plan
Physicians review findings and respond with medical context like HbA1c levels or current meds. Both providers agree on a treatment plan documented in a shared record.
Treat and Document
The dental team delivers treatment and documents outcomes. The system generates FHIR-compatible notes for transmission to the medical EHR.
Dental Records That Speak the Same Language
as Medical Systems.
The biggest barrier to medical-dental integration isn’t clinical knowledge it’s data silos. DentuluPro bridges this gap with a FHIR-ready data layer that translates dental findings into actionable medical insights.
Standardized Data Exchange
FHIR is the standard protocol. DentuluPro structures dental observations as FHIR resources for EHRs.
RESTful APIs
Modern web-based APIs (same architecture as Epic, Cerner) to transmit and receive data in real time.
SNODENT + ICD-10 Mapping
Dental findings are coded using SNODENT and mapped to ICD-10-CM for medical system compatibility and billing.
National Standards Alignment
Aligned with ADA 1084 and DoD/CareQuest HL7 FHIR Dental Data Exchange Implementation Guides.
The ER Problem
Why Integration Saves the System Money
1.6 Million Patients Go to the ER for Dental Problems Every Year. Most of Them Shouldn't Have To.
800+ Care Partners
Medicaid or uninsured patients facing limited definitive care options.
Average mean cost of a palliative dental ER visit without definitive treatment.
● Direct Referral Pathways Active
Hospital/ER Triage Integration
Hospital staff use DentuluPro to connect patients with a dentist via telehealth for triage and route to local providers.
Dental Provider Network
A nationwide directory gives hospital systems a direct referral pathway that didn’t exist before.
Follow-Up Tracking
Automated follow-up ensures patients referred from the ER actually receive dental care, closing the loop.
Integrated Care Isn’t Just Better Medicine.
It’s Better Business
Dentistry’s link to systemic health shifts your practice to prevention-driven growth. By integrating medical collaboration and structured screening, you unlock new reimbursement pathways and enhance physician relationships, creating recurring patient engagement.
Medical Insurance Revenue
Services like sleep apnea (E0486/K1027), perio for medically compromised patients, and salivary diagnostics are often billable to medical insurance.
Physician Referral Network
Build trust with physicians who will refer their diabetic, cardiac, and pregnant patients to you for periodontal care a channel that doesn’t depend on ads.
Whole-Health Differentiation
Stand apart by screening for systemic risk and sharing records. Patients increasingly expect interdisciplinary communication.
Patient Retention
Integration creates a structured follow-up cadence that keeps medically complex patients in your practice longer with recurring revenue.
Hospital and FQHC Contracts
Position your practice to work with hospital systems and Community Health Centers that need dental providers for their medical workflows.
