Abstract: 

Teledentistry, a transformative facet of modern healthcare, harnesses telecommunications technology to revolutionize dental services. It enables patients to remotely consult with oral health professionals, breaking down geographical barriers and enhancing accessibility to care. Through virtual platforms, individuals can engage in video consultations, sharing images and information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This approach proves particularly invaluable in underserved areas or for those facing logistical challenges. Teledentistry not only facilitates timely interventions but also prioritizes preventive care by providing guidance and education to patients. The utilization of digital tools streamlines communication between dentists and individuals, fostering efficient and comprehensive oral health management. By integrating technology into dentistry, teledentistry not only ensures convenience for patients but also extends the reach of dental services, ultimately contributing to improved oral health outcomes on a broader scale.
