Can a Dentist Come to Your House?
Yes — a dentist can visit you at home through what is known as domiciliary dentistry. This is private dental care delivered in your own environment, often with both a dentist and a nurse attending together.
When home visits are suitable
- When a patient is elderly or housebound
- If mobility problems make travel unsafe
- When anxiety or medical conditions prevent clinic visits
- For care home residents or hospital in-patients
What to expect
The team brings portable instruments, PPE, and covers. You only need to provide a clean space with good lighting. The first visit is usually a consultation, with treatment explained and agreed before starting.
