MOBILE DENTISTRY

Mobile dentistry, also known as portable or travelling dentistry, provides dental care outside conventional dental offices. Dentists operate from specially equipped vehicles or mobile dental units, enabling them to reach patients with limited access to dental care due to mobility issues, geographic restrictions, or time constraints. This increases access to dental care, which is particularly beneficial for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those living in rural areas. Mobile dentistry encourages regular dental checkups and overall oral health, providing preventive services like cleaning, exams, and fluoride treatments. It also promptly addresses dental emergencies. Education is another crucial aspect of mobile dentistry, with mobile dental units often incorporating educational components about proper oral hygiene and the importance of regular dental visits. Mobile dentistry also requires outreach programs promoting oral health in schools, community centres, and events. Mobile dental units are equipped with advanced dental technologies, ensuring high-quality care.
