How Do Housebound People Get Dental Treatment?
Being housebound doesn’t mean you have to miss out on dental care. Many practices, including ours, offer domiciliary visits where the dentist and nurse come to you instead of you going to them.
Why this is important
Regular check-ups prevent small issues from becoming emergencies. For patients who are elderly, disabled, or recovering from illness, home visits provide reassurance and continuity of care.
Services available at home
- Check-ups and pain relief
- Fillings and extractions (where safe)
- Denture adjustments, relines, and replacements
- Advice for carers on daily mouth care
