If a dentist wants to speak to multiple people at once, what should be initiated?

A conference call is the most suitable option when a dentist wants to communicate with multiple people at the same time. This type of call allows several participants to join in a single conversation, enabling effective communication and discussion among all parties involved. Conference calls are particularly useful in various scenarios, such as business meetings, consultations with specialists, or discussions with team members in a dental practice.

The term "conference call" specifically denotes a telephone call in which multiple people are able to participate, signifying a structured and intentional method to have a group discussion. This differs from other terms, such as group calls or multi-line calls, which may not always entail simultaneous participation and could suggest different technologies or setups. While speakerphone can enable multiple listeners in one location to hear the call, it does not facilitate a simultaneous conversation with several distinct individuals from different locations like a conference call does.
