Pediatric Teledentistry
Why Is Pediatric Teledentistry Important?
Children’s oral health is essential to their overall well-being, but getting to the dentist isn’t always easy. Busy schedules, dental anxiety, and limited local access to pediatric specialists can make traditional visits challenging.
That’s where pediatric teledentistry comes in. With virtual consultations, parents can connect with a pediatric dentist from home, getting expert guidance on everything from routine checkups to emergency care—without the hassle of an office visit.
