? Frequently asked Questions

  • Prevention: Patients can email pictures of their teeth, which enables the dentist to diagnose patients accurately. You can complete this at home and send it to the dentist for review. Prompt preventative care reduces the likelihood of later developing serious oral health issues.
  • Second Opinions: Getting second opinions from other dentists is another function that teledentistry offers. Patients can receive more efficient and comprehensive advice on recommended treatments as well as answers to any queries they may have regarding oral health.
  • Oral Health Care: Without leaving their homes, patients can consult with their dentists and receive comments virtually. You can simply receive a diagnosis and prescription for medication because it is a two-way video communication system.

Prescriptions for a wide range of medications, including non-narcotic painkillers with prescription strength, are possible. Through teledentistry, no narcotic prescriptions will be written.
