MouthWatch is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Teledentistry Innovation Awards, recognizing achievements in virtual dental care across five categories.
MouthWatch Inc has opened the nomination period for its 8th annual Teledentistry Innovation Awards. Known as “The Tellies,” the awards recognize individuals, programs, and organizations that are using teledentistry and virtual dental care to expand access, improve oral health, and support better overall health outcomes.
Award Categories Highlight Broad Use of Teledentistry
The 2025 Tellie Awards will consider nominees across five categories. These include dentists and specialists improving the patient journey and clinical workflows, hygienists using teledentistry to enhance care in public and private settings, and oral health programs such as DSOs and public health initiatives that use virtual care to transform patient experiences. Educational institutions integrating teledentistry into curricula or services, and industry innovators leading dental innovation with a focus on virtual care, are also eligible.
Recognizing Impact and Innovation
“Teledentistry is no longer just a trend. It is an essential part of how oral healthcare is delivered and integrated within the broader health system,” said Brant Herman, founder and CEO of MouthWatch and Dentistry.One. “The Tellie Awards celebrate the individuals and organizations who are using technology to redefine how care is delivered, expand access, and make oral health a larger part of the healthcare conversation.”
Each winner will receive a $1,000 cash grant, an invitation to the 2025 Tellie Awards ceremony in New York City, and national recognition through a press release, social media, and a featured profile on the Teledentistry Innovation Awards website.
Submission Details and Event Information
Nominations are open through October 1, 2025, and self-nominations are encouraged. Submissions can be made at teledentistryinnovationawards.com. Winners will be announced during the 2025 Greater New York Dental Meeting, which takes place November 28 through December 3, 2025. The specific time and location for the invitation-only Tellie Awards event will be announced at a later date.
“What we are seeing is a new level of creativity and commitment in how teledentistry is being used,” Herman added. “From connecting with underserved populations to improving care continuity, these efforts are driving meaningful change in both clinical care and public health. The Tellies are our way of honoring that progress every year.”
