What happens when getting to the dentist becomes one of the hardest parts of receiving dental care?
For many family caregivers, coordinating dental care for a loved one can involve much more than making an appointment.
It may mean arranging accessible transportation, coordinating around medications and other medical appointments, accompanying the patient, communicating health information, and helping manage anxiety or cognitive or behavioral challenges.
For someone who is homebound or medically complex, the logistics alone can become a barrier.
That’s one reason we believe it’s important to consider not only what dental care a patient needs, but how that care can realistically be accessed.
House Call Dentists provides in-home dental care for patients who may have difficulty traveling to a traditional dental office.
Depending on the patient’s needs, care may include examinations, digital X-rays, cleanings, fillings, crowns, dentures, extractions, emergency treatment, and palliative care.
Our newest blog explores the connection between caregiver burnout and dental care and how bringing care to the patient may help reduce some of the burden caregivers face.
