# Teero

> Teero does two separate things for dental offices. It staffs dental hygienists, all employed by Teero as W-2 workers, for temporary shifts and permanent hires. And it handles the insurance work around a claim: verification before the visit, then payment posting, aging follow-up, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. Teero serves private practices and DSOs in all 50 states.
