Dental care is being constantly transformed by the opportunities which are provided by technology and telecommunication. Teledentistry provides the means for a patient to receive services when the patient is in one physical location and the dentist or other oral health care provider overseeing the delivery of those services is in another location. This mode of patient care makes use of telecommunication technologies to convey health information and facilitate the delivery of dental services. More and more private and public insurance are adding coverage for Tele-health and teledentistry worldwide.
