It's always a good idea to have a Plan-B. You might not want to think about it but what are your options during holiday travel or anytime you're traveling and you have a dental issue?
Could be:
- A sudden, painful toothache
- A chipped or damaged tooth
- Gum pain
Those scenarios and more could put a dent in your travel plans especially if you need to track down a dentist.
Virtual dental care provides the perfect Plan B solution to ensure that your travel plans - while delayed slightly - can potentially continue without interruption.
Why virtual dental care is a good "travel accessory"
Virtual dental care connects you with a licensed dentist through a convenient, easy to use, online platform. An internet or cellular connection enables you to have a secure, remote video consultation with a licensed dental professional.
Virtual dentistry conveniently bridges the gap between in-person dental care and a necessary dental consultation while traveling or otherwise.
The benefits you can expect from a virtual dental visit when traveling
On-the-spot access to dental expertise
You might be facing a dental emergency or any of a number of uncomfortable dental issues. And the good news is that none of those need to alter your plans.
You can have quick access to a dentist who can assess your condition, provide a diagnosis, and recommend the next best steps.
You can share images via a secure online portal and receive a personalized treatment plan from the comfort of your location while traveling.
Less schedule interruption
Holiday travel or other scheduled travel typically follows a well-planned itinerary. Time out to deal with seeking a dentist and scheduling a dental appointment while away from home can derail your plans.
A virtual dental consultation saves time and energy while giving you an option to receive dental recommendations without further disrupting your travel.
Away from home peace of mind
Encountering a dental issue while away from home adds unfortunate stress to your travel. A number of thoughts likely run through your mind:
- Is my dental condition serious?
- Can a diagnosis or treatment wait until I return home?
A virtual dental visit can answer those questions and give you some clarifying peace of mind. That along with options for temporary care if necessary while on the road.
Cost-effective convenience
A virtual dental visit is often less costly than an in-person emergency appointment. There's also no need for transportation to an unfamiliar dentist in an unfamiliar location.
There could also be an option for your virtual appointment to be covered by insurance. Ask about coverage options.
Follow-up solutions
A virtual dental consultation could be the first step towards ultimately resolving your dental issue. A dentist online is equipped to connect you with in-person dental services if necessary when you return from traveling.
Travel confidence encompasses many things. When dental care is one of them, be confident in virtual dental care as a Plan B option when away from home.
