Are you too busy for a dental appointment? Or are you in a dental emergency that might require immediate advice from a dentist? Well, it is now time to try one of the latest trends in the health sector known as Telehealth.
We trust our tablets as well as computers for almost everything, why not do the same with our health? Telehealth allows you to connect with your dentist through video conference.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the delivery of different healthcare services through an interactive, live videoconferencing. It allows you to speak to your dentist without having to travel to their office. The dentist will visually assess you at the comfort of your home and recommend a treatment option depending on your condition. Telehealth offers you a simple and inexpensive solution for your everyday health questions.
How is Telehealth Different from Regular Dental Visits?
Telehealth appointments are very similar to regular dental visits. The only difference is that with Telehealth, you will see and interact with your dentist via video conferencing. Telehealth is very similar to skype or facetime. Just speak to your dentist in a normal way as if you are in your regular dental visits. You will be in a position to see and hear your dentist clearly.
Tips for a Successful Telehealth Appointment
Before you can engage your dentist for a telehealth appointment, there are a few tips you need to follow for a successful session.
Plan Your Approach
Before you can start the session, it is best to think about what you would like to achieve. Are you looking to renewing your prescription? Do you need some medications, or you simply want to explain your condition? Start with what you feel is the most important for you.
Set the Scene
Find a quiet place with no distractions from children, other family members, or pets. Make sure you start your session a few minutes earlier since you are likely to talk to an assistant before they can connect you to a dentist. Make sure your device is well charged or at least plugged into a socket.
