If you need to get nursing home dental services, make sure you do it in good time. No old person should neglect any part of their health and that includes dental health. Dental health is important throughout one’s lifetime, but as you know, teeth age just like the rest of the body and must be looked after. And it is not just teeth that age but also the bones and the gums. Most older people need some kind of radical dental care as they get older, and this could include tooth extractions, dental implants, false teeth or dentures as we prefer to call them, bridges, root canal procedures and the ordinary and everyday filling of cavities. Luckily for older people in nursing homes, there is mobile dental care, a bit like mobile health care. Dentists pay visits as requested to nursing homes and to the people who need to see them. Appointments are set up by the nursing home although they can be set up directly too.
Geriatric dental care
We all know about brushing twice daily and flossing. Mobile dental care is however not going to lecture an older person on how to look after their teeth. They know how to look after their teeth, they are just not always able to anymore. And so a mobile dental care service is there to provide the necessary dental treatments and procedures that are more common with older people and the older market. They provide regular dental hygiene and cleaning appointments and regular dental checks, but they also provide all the other services an older person may need. Mobile dental vans are fully kitted out and for a patient, it is like walking into a regular dental practice.
If you know an old person who needs nursing home dental, recommend that they find out about mobile dental care.
