Oral health care for the aged via nursing home dental services in Southern California (So-Cal) are available, and they are available on a mobile basis. It can be tricky for older people to get to the dentist, and for this reason, older people often neglect their dental care. Yet having a healthy mouth, teeth and gums, is so important as we age. Our teeth age with our bodies, and in the same way we look after our bodies, we must look after our teeth. Old people lose their teeth, teeth decay, they need dentures, sometimes root canal. Any problem can arise but it should be dealt with swiftly, to avoid further problems.

Mobile dental care is the way to go

The relief that mobile nursing home dental services in So-Cal can bring is immense. For an older person, it is stressful to have to leave a home, leave the comfort and the safety of what they know, especially when there may be some ill health or confusion, to go to a medical appointment. So if the medical appointment can come to them, how fabulous is that. A mobile dental practice is set up just like a regular dental practice; it just happens to be in a large van. Once the person has stepped inside, they could be in a regular dental practice. It is comfortable, the chairs are perfect, the dentist is supremely professional, and so are his staff. All the tools and equipment are available, and a wide variety of procedures can be undertaken.

A mobile dental visit can be set up by the nursing home, or the family of the person in the care facility can ask for the service. It has become more common to find mobile nursing home dental services So-Cal, and we recommend you use those recommended by dental associations.
