S.C. Code Ann. § 40-15-530: Establishing relationship with patients via teledentistry.

Notwithstanding the limitations provided in Section 40-15-540, a licensee may establish a relationship with a patient through teledentistry only:

(1) for the purpose of emergent care;

(2) in connection with a public health program; or

(3) to make an initial diagnosis of a malposition of teeth and to determine the need for an orthodontic appliance. An initial diagnosis and determination made pursuant to this item must be confirmed through an in-person visit and review of the patient's current radiographic records before the patient begins using the orthodontic appliance.
