A new service on the market is mobile dentistry for seniors and this is much needed. Senior people need to look after their oral hygiene. Often it is difficult for older people around the world to get to the dentist. They rely on other people for transport and they can find visiting a dentist stressful. Doctors do home visits, so why not dentists too? A mobile dentist visits old age homes and special care facilities. Mobile dentists can perform all kinds of dental care procedures, especially those geared up for older people. More common procedures would be tooth extractions, filling cavities, building bridges and doing implants. Of course, general oral hygienic cleanings are offered and generally included in every appointment.
Finding a mobile dentist
There are mobile dentists in most states in America. Google search mobile dental care for seniors and put your city or state after your internet search. You will likely find at least one mobile dental service in your area. With most mobile dental services you can book directly, which means you can book an appointment for your mom or dad, or the old aged home can book the appointments too. Having an appointment with a mobile dentist is just like having an appointment in an ordinary dental practice. The patient is shown into the room (dental van) which is fully kitted out with good lighting, running water, a dental chair, a dental stool, and all the equipment and tools that a dentist needs. The dentist will do a general oral check, an oral cleaning, and then either do any procedures that need to be done, there and then, or will make future appointments for the necessary procedures.
Oral health care should never be neglected and even more so with older people. Look for a service that offers mobile dentistry for seniors and make an appointment today.
