Digital Dental Screening in Coimbatore
The short answer: Touch-free screening is a quick digital check of your teeth and gums using photographs and imaging, with minimal contact in the mouth. It gives a first look at cavities, gum health and alignment and helps decide what follow-up you need. It does not replace a full clinical examination.
