Despite its growth,teledentistry has its own challenges like limited hands on examination which can affect diagnostic accuracy.

Its a huge network to be created with the Dentist serving the people in best possible way at their doorstep…also for the Dentist it’s going to be a massive exposure to explore more :grinning_face:
