Teledentistry for Improving Oral Health of Rural India

Abstract

In the past three decades, teledentistry has grown as a way for dental professionals to connect with one another from afar. It enables collaboration between different practitioners when it comes to a patient and the required care for this patient. With rural communities or those of underserved populations, teledentistry can be quite useful. Along with reducing the time and expense involved with speciality consultations, it would boost the accessibility of specialists.
