Blog
We pride ourselves on providing our patients with detailed resources on mobile dentistry. Our continually updated blog is one of the main ways we accomplish this. Here, you’ll find a wide range of topics covered, including how mobile dentistry works, who can benefit from mobile dentistry, how sedation dentistry works, oral hygiene tips, insurance coverage questions, and more.
Our caring team possesses years of specialised experience in providing the highest quality care to patients who cannot visit a traditional dentist’s office. The majority of our patients are elderly individuals who would otherwise be at risk of forgoing proper dental care.
Using our thorough understanding of the unique dental needs of the elderly population and empathy for individuals who are scared of dental treatments or have had a bad experience in the past, we provide caring, safe, calm dental treatments in a familiar, comfortable setting. If you still have questions or have a topic you would like to see covered in one of our blogs, please feel free to reach out to our team.
