Teledentistry

What is Teledentistry?

Teledentistry is the dental form of telemedicine, which is the use of telecommunications and allied technologies to deliver and coordinate care. Teledentistry, in action, means connecting everyone involved in the dental care journey for more seamless and efficient care.

Various definitions of teledentistry

Teledentistry has been used to describe only the orthodontic/aligner uses of teledentistry in the past, but the use cases are much broader.

The term “teledentistry” has also historically been linked to rural applications and addressing disparities in access to care. While teledentistry can help with these goals, it is not limited to them. It’s helpful to think of teledentistry as a collection of communication technologies that facilitate both patient-provider and provider-provider communications, as well as the care-oriented management of clinical data and provider and company workflows. Teledentistry is more than just making a video call.

Whether it’s for a regular check-up, to follow up on a past treatment, or to fix an urgent problem, remote consultations save you time and make dental care more accessible. Dentists can give you advice, prescribe drugs, or set up appointments when needed.
