The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we access healthcare, and dentistry is no exception. With social distancing measures in place, many dental clinics have had to adapt their services to ensure patients can still receive the care they need safely. At White Bridge Clinic in Kidlington, we have implemented e-consultations as a convenient and effective way for patients to access dental care from the comfort of their own homes.
An e-consultation is a virtual consultation that allows patients to discuss their dental concerns with a dentist remotely. At White Bridge Clinic, our e-consultations are conducted via video call or phone call, depending on the patient’s preference. The consultation can cover a range of dental issues, from routine check-ups to more complex dental problems.
During the e-consultation, our experienced dentists will ask the patient about their dental history, current symptoms, and any concerns they may have. They may also ask the patient to provide photos of their teeth or mouth to aid in the assessment. Based on the information gathered, the dentist will then provide a diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and guidance on how to manage any immediate symptoms.
E-consultations can be particularly useful for patients who are unable to attend the clinic in person due to geographic location, transportation issues, or other health concerns. They can also be a time-saving option for patients who may not have the flexibility to take time off work or school for an in-person appointment.
At White Bridge Clinic, we value the importance of patient-centred care and strive to provide the highest quality service possible. Our e-consultations allow us to connect with our patients, provide reassurance and guidance, and ensure they receive the dental care they need in a timely and convenient manner.
