Mobile Dentists And Old Aged Homes

Do you struggle getting your elderly parent to a dentist? There’s a mobile dentist for seniors and it takes off huge amounts of stress from the adult child or carer. Getting our aged people to appointments, and for some reason especially the dentist or the doctor, can be extremely hard. And while many care homes have in house hairdressers and nail technicians, and they have doctors on call, they do not have in house dentists. And this is why a mobile dentists is so important. It is a dentist who comes to the care home, complete with all the equipment, all the tools, and all the comfort of a dental practice.

How do mobile dentists work

Each mobile dentist is different, just like each doctor is different. But generally, the care facility would book out a day or two, ask the mobile dentist clinic to come to the home, and then set up appointments, one by one, for the residents. For the residents, the appointment at the mobile dentist is easy. They make their way to the mobile dentist clinic, sometimes with the help of the care staff, and are greeted warmly by the dentist and their staff member. The mobile dentist practice looks like an ordinary dental practice. There is a chair, it is comfortable, there are mirrors, equipment, everything that both the dentist needs to do a good job, and everything that is needed to put the patient at ease. Most dental procedures can be done by a mobile dentist, including those that are most needed by the elderly, such as dentures, fillings, implants or root canals. And of course, general oral hygiene check ups.

Look in your area and see which dentists offer a mobile service and get the care facility to make a booking. A mobile dentist for seniors is a brilliant idea.
