The new feature streamlines the process for parents to request and gain access to their children’s patient records, strengthening communication between families and dental practices.
(WorldFrontNews Editorial):- Minnetonka, Minnesota Aug 3, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – Toothapps, a leading provider of connected dentistry®, today announced the launch of Family Sharing, a new feature within its Cair platform. Family Access allows parents to request access to their children’s dental records when their children are patients at participating practices, making it easier for families to stay informed and involved in their children’s oral health care.
With Family Access, parents can submit a request directly through Cair mobile app for free to link their account to their child’s patient record. Once approved by the practice, parents gain visibility into key information such as upcoming appointment times, appointment and service history, treatment plans, and other relevant records. This convenience is now all within the same secure, easy-to-use platform they already use to communicate with their own dental provider.
“Family Access was built to remove friction for parents who want to stay engaged in their children’s dental care,” said Abby Frey, LDA, Director of Clinical Success at Toothapps. “Whether a family has multiple children at the same practice or a parent simply wants a clearer view of their child’s care journey, this feature makes that information easier to access securely and on their terms.”
Key benefits of Family Access include:
- Convenience — Parents can access their child’s information through the free-to-use Cair mobile app, without needing to call or visit the dental practice.
- Centralized family records — Parents with multiple children can manage access to each child’s information in one place. Centralizing records even if family members receive care with different providers.
- Stronger family engagement — Improved visibility helps parents stay on top of appointments, treatment plans, and follow-up care.
- Practice-controlled approval — Practices retain full control over which access requests are approved, ensuring records remain secure and appropriately managed.
Family Access is now available to dental practices using Toothapps® + Cair. Practices interested in enabling this feature for their patients can contact their Toothapps representative / visit toothapps.com for more information.
