Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the general population at different levels. In the context “prevention is better than cure” certain norms has been implemented by the government like maintaining social distancing and wearing masks. In this pandemic, individuals are facing numerous issues due to minimal availability to physical health and dental care. The solution to this problem of physical unavailability is telemedicine and teledentistry. Teledentistry is a means of virtual communication between patients and consultants which must be incorporated in general healthcare and dental care systems. Though with numerous advantages, this technology also posseses some disadvantages. Proper knowledge and application of this technology should be understood by the healthcare workers for it’s suitable implementation. If not fully replace, at least teledentistry can complement the existing compromised dental system during the current pandemic.
