However, this is now a reality thanks to telecommunication technology. Dentulu has made it possible for communication to occur between a patient and a dentist, even if they are in different locations. This dental app uses the technology known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentulu.com\/blog\/bridging-the-connection-between-dentists-and-patients-in-a-virtual-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tele-dentistry to allow communication between patients and dentists<\/a>. The use of this app has grown exponentially because it has made a positive impact on people\u2019s oral health.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest oral healthcare challenge in Los Angeles is that rural and semi-urban people are unable to have access to oral healthcare. Only tele-dentistry has the potential to overcome this challenge. In fact, tele-dentistry has profoundly changed the landscape of oral care services. A few years ago, getting remote care seemed impossible, but now it can be done with tele-dentistry.<\/p>\n<p>If clinicians <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentulu.com\/quality-care.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">want to provide oral care services to people<\/a> in remote areas, they need to adopt the use of tele-dentistry. They can do this by registering with the dental app. Whether it is diagnosis or monitoring or treatment, clinicians are able to do this thanks to communication technology. Tele-dentistry has brought a paradigm shift in dental care practice. When distance and lack of time are constraints, tele-dentistry enables patients to have access to dental care. For clinics, the technology used in oral care service are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Data<\/li>\n<li>Still images<\/li>\n<li>Audio &amp; video transmissions<\/li>\n<li>Storage<\/li>\n<li>Retrieval systems, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the practical application of tele-dentistry, two types of technologies are prevalent. They are known as \u201cstore and forward\u201d and \u201ctwo-way interactive television.\u201d A patient can use store and forward technology for non-emergency oral care needs. On the other hand, two-way interactive television technology is ideal for patients who are in need of emergency oral care. In terms of cost, one can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentulu.com\/blog\/advantages-of-teledentistry\/\">tele-dentistry to their advantage<\/a> at an affordable cost. Tele-dentistry is unequaled when it comes to providing access to standard oral care services. That\u2019s why everyone is now able to get critical dental care consultation when they need it.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing oral care services to the patient\u2019s home has been getting a large response because house-bound patients like the elderly, physically handicapped, and chronically ill patients now have the opportunity to book the services of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentulu.com\/house-call-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a dentist for a house call<\/a>. Patients can even remain in constant touch with their dentist for any post-treatment dental complications. Patient satisfaction with tele-dentistry is high and will continue to be so. Patients get undivided attention from their dentist during the tele consultation. Therefore, people must embrace the technology of tele-dentistry in order to gain its advantages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consulting a dentist without visiting a clinic might sound far-fetched.
