Given the innovation we've seen from some industries in these times, I'm surprised I haven't seen any in dentistry.
I'm probably just naïve about the challenges – or maybe it's happening and I'm just not aware. But I'm surprised my family (3 dental offices between us) hasn't gotten any emails from our dentists selling cleaning kits with elaborate instructions or offering Zoom consultations where they ask the same old questions they'd be asking at a cleaning, planning treatment, etc.
Yes, I realize these things are no replacement for regular cleanings or appointments, but certainly they'd be better than... nothing?
- ghaff 6y agoI'm pretty sure many dentists are open to remote consultations. I know my doctor is. I assume my dentist would be as well. I'm not sure what remote cleaning would look like other than "Be particularly observant to your brushing and flossing." I imagine untrained people hacking around with dental tools would cause more harm than good.
