THE CHALLENGE: In Motion Dentists is excited to present a new Assisted Teeth Brushing Program that will decrease long term dental bills and improve overall health. Over the last decade of providing house-call dental services, we have found that oral care is the most challenging activity of daily living for families and caregivers to complete. Our goal is to improve the quality of life of our patients and reduce the need for extensive dental care in the future.
THE SOLUTION: This Program consists of our highly trained and committed Oral Health Care Specialist coming to the patient where they reside and providing the following:
• Twice a month oral care services
• Recommendations for specific oral care tools and products
• A thorough toothbrush cleaning
• Interproximal cleaning between the teeth
• Use of mouthwash
• Family/Care staff training on how to complete daily oral care
THE BENEFITS: The oral cavity is the gateway to the rest of the body. Oral pain can make eating foods that keep the body healthy and strong impossible. A healthy mouth free of gum disease is proven to:
• Decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s/Dementia
• Decrease the risk of heart attack
• Decreased the risk of stroke
• Improve blood sugar levels
• Decreased the risk of pneumonia
