The COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to have a significant impact on the teledentistry market.

Oral diseases cause a major burden for various countries and affect the people throughout their lifetime by causing pain, discomfort, and disfigurement. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases have affected approximately 3.5 billion people globally in 2020. Moreover, the WHO stated that over 530 million children worldwide suffer from dental caries. Furthermore, according to the International Journal of Health Sciences, periodontal diseases affect approximately 20–30% of population in the developed and developing nations worldwide. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, approximately 2.3 billion people suffer from dental caries of permanent teeth across the world. The treatment for oral diseases is relatively expensive and it is usually not covered by the insurance companies and healthcare ministry in majority of the countries. However, virtual visits between clinicians and patients in remote areas via communication technologies have enabled the reach of health advice and consultations in the developing nations.

Most of the global healthcare players are focused on the digital dental sector. This has resulted in the fast-paced growth of the sector in the recent years. Market players are competitive toward introduction of new platforms that are likely to address various challenges in the virtual dental appointments. For instance, in December 2020, DialCare introduced its new teledentistry program offering 24/7 access to its licensed dentists in the US through phone or video consultation. Teledentistry has witnessed a surge during the COVID-19 crisis as it has helped individuals to seek medical attention from the convenience and safety of their home and not to risk infection by entering a populated clinic. mHealth technology is being developed to disseminate medical information or health data widely to practitioners and patients as well. The continued advancement of wireless communications technology would undoubtedly help bring mHealth initiatives to maturity.
