Digital/remote treatment can be effective but it may not always be as effective as physically visiting a dentist. In certain cases, digital treatment can be an excellent way to troubleshoot minor dental issues and alleviate symptoms. For instance, patients can take pictures or videos of their teeth and send them to their dentist for analysis. However, digital tools cannot provide the same level of tactile sensitivity as a dentist's hands. In some cases, a dentist may need to feel the patient's gums or manipulate the teeth to detect any potential problems. Moreover, certain dental procedures, such as fillings or extractions, require the use of specific instruments and equipment that can only be found in a dental practice. Hence, while digital/remote treatment is very useful in many aspects, some dental issues require an in-person examination and treatment.
