This article evaluates the awareness and outlook of dentists in south Bangalore concerning teledentistry. It also includes a discussion based on different questions and how dentists from different specialties and age groups answered them. We can conclude with this article, that, teledentistry is a very viable option for oral health care for those who have difficulty accessing it and that dentists are very open to accepting and adopting it.
