The ability for dentists to send X-rays to patients via computer, also known as teledentistry, has become increasingly common in recent years. This technology allows dentists to share X-rays with patients electronically, making it more convenient for patients to access their own medical records.
There are many benefits to teledentistry, including the ability to share X-rays with other dentists or specialists for consultation. This can be especially helpful in cases where a patient needs to see a specialist but cannot travel to their office. Teledentistry can also be used to provide remote dental care to patients in rural or underserved areas.
