关于我们
We are driven by a heart-centered, personal passion to serve the underserved in nursing homes, memory care communities, adult family homes, and other locations where older adults cannot access or afford dentistry. We offer many of the same services you would find in a dental office including services like patient screenings, dental cleanings, fluoride varnish applications, and non-invasive cavity treatment with silver diamine applications. Our primary mission is to provide superior service through Minimally Invasive Care (MIC). MIC provides patients with more control over their oral health by slowing the effects of progressive disease and creating more time for healthy behavior change, thereby preventing the need for an invasive intervention. MIC procedures steer the process away from “replacement dentistry,” wherein a cavity gets larger and the tooth gets weaker through repeated dental interventions in spite of an active underlying disease. The reality of many restorative materials used in dentistry is that these materials are not always a complete or adequate replacement for tooth structure. It is often a better option to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible as a way of contributing to a patient’s long-term health. More and more people are learning about the benefits of MIC everyday! In 2021, the World Health Organization added fluoride toothpaste, silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer fillings to its list of Essential Medications. Data about MIC indicates that patients report better oral health and overall satisfaction with both alternative cavity management techniques and the aesthetic appearance associated with glass ionomer fillings. We have found that many patients prefer the use of silver diamine fluoride over behavior modification techniques or sedation procedures. Families are often more accepting of minimally invasive procedures given the reductions in pain, fear, and trauma experienced during dental treatment.

Why Root Decay Is Prevalent In Nursing Home Patients Root surface decay differs significantly from the enamel decay (tooth structure above the gum tissue). Root decay develops more quickly than on the enamel as the cementum composition of the root is softer. Root decay involves both demineralization and collagen degradation, leading to faster progression on root surfaces. As a result, demineralization is approximately twice as rapid on root surfaces as on enamel. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gj8aePMy

WHAT IS MINIMALLY INVASIVE DENTISTRY? Minimally invasive dentistry emphasizes techniques that preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. This approach utilizes advanced methods to treat dental diseases while minimizing discomfort. In many cases, MID should be considered and offered before more invasive procedures like extractions and drilling. Examples of MID include: ? Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): Ideal for treating both primary and permanent teeth, especially when cavities are not extensive. It can also be effective on root surfaces, particularly in seniors. ? Glass Ionomer Sealants: These sealants can protect against decay without drilling, making them a suitable option for patients at risk. #silverdiaminefluoride #washingtonmobiledentistry #SoundDentalCare #MID #minimallyinvasivedentistry

Today is World Senior Citizen's Day! Celebrated annually on August 21st, today is dedicated to honoring and recognizing the contributions of older adults around the world. The day emphasises the importance of addressing issues related to the elderly, such as healthcare access, economic security, social isolation, and elder abuse. I have found my life’s calling in advocating for senior’s oral health. It’s amazing how full my heart can be by just spending my day in a nursing home! #MID #SaveSeniorsSmiles #WhyICare #NonInvasiveDentistry #SmileMore #SeniorOralHealth
