Tele-dentistry uses digital communication tools to provide dental care remotely, enhancing accessibility and convenience. It involves virtual consultations, where patients can discuss symptoms and treatment options with dentists via video calls or online messaging. This approach is useful for initial assessments, follow-up care, and educational purposes. Tele-dentistry can address routine inquiries, monitor treatment progress, and offer guidance without requiring an in-person visit. While it can’t replace all aspects of physical examinations, it improves access to care, especially for those in remote or underserved areas, and helps reduce the need for unnecessary in-person appointments.
