Teledentistry is rapidly gaining popularity, considering the severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Teledentistry is the mode of dental treatment where the dentist and patient do not come in physical contact but connect with each other online. The dentist sets up a secure line for the patient and diagnoses them over a telephonic call or a video call. Suitable treatment will be suggested, and the dentist will let you know if it is required immediately or can be postponed.

What are the advantages of teledentistry?

• Patients can consult the dentist remotely from their homes. This allows them to stay safe under such critical conditions.
• Patients need not skip their routine dental consultations due to the pandemic. They can get in touch with the dentist and have their bi-annual examination done.
• Teledentistry usually costs less in comparison to a face-to-face consultation.
• The dentist will let you know whether your oral condition is a critical one that requires immediate treatment, or if you can pick up the prescribed medication from your local pharmacy.
• The online session will be carried out over a secure line to ensure doctor-patient confidentiality.
• You no longer have to wait for long durations in the dentist’s practice. You will be allotted a specific time slot during which you can discuss your oral concerns with the dentist.
• If you have any dental emergencies, you can consult the dentist immediately to get a professional opinion.
