Dentulu's photo consultation service is a Teledentistry service that allows patients to submit photos of their teeth and receive consultation from a licensed dentist. This can include diagnosis, treatment plans, and prescription recommendations.

The dentist consultation ($29) includes a detailed review by a licensed dentist within 24-48 hours, providing a comprehensive written report with diagnosis, treatment options, urgency assessment, and the option for e-prescriptions or follow-up video calls.

For optimal results, take clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles: front view with mouth open, close-ups of the affected area, and side views if relevant.

If our AI or dentist determines your condition requires immediate emergency care, you'll receive clear guidance to seek urgent in-person treatment. Photo consultations are designed to identify when immediate care is needed and will direct you to appropriate emergency dental services.

These may include issues requiring bite analysis, TMJ disorders, certain types of pain without visible symptoms, or conditions needing tactile examination.

After receiving your consultation, you can save the results to your account for future reference. If you received a dentist consultation, you may have options for follow-up video calls, in-person referrals to local dentists, or additional photo consultations to monitor progress. The platform also allows you to track your dental health over time.
