The growth of teledentistry

Teledentistry is one of the current hot topics in dentistry that has experienced a significant increase in demand since the COVID-19 pandemic, and is predicted to continue to grow until 2030, as stated in a study by Research and Markets.

With the need to maintain oral health and reduce in-person visits, dental professionals are relying on technology to interact with patients through check-ups and follow-ups remotely. It's important to note that teledentistry cannot completely replace face-to-face appointments, especially for diagnosis and certain treatments. However, teledentistry offers the convenience of virtual visits from home, saving patients travel and waiting time, while also providing greater accessibility for those with mobility issues or living in remote areas. Mobile applications have become one of the most popular ways to offer teledentistry services, such as the Impress app, which enables patients to have remote consultations and follow-ups for their treatment.
