One of the most commonly asked questions about the portable office is, "How can you perform dental procedures outside of the traditional office setting?" For many individuals, including dental professionals, the concept of a portable office is abstract. The right type of equipment, the right type of practice, and the right person make this abstract concept a reality.
Office-based dental equipment requires large air compressors to run drills, huge wall mounted x-ray machines, and giant vacuum systems for suction. Today, these physical requirements are no longer needed to run a safe and state-of-the-art PORTABLE dental practice. Combined with unique practice model, the concept of a "virtual" office becomes a reality. The future of dental care for our older neighbors is here!

One of the most common conditions found in the mouths of elderly individuals is Xerostomia (Dry Mouth)

Xerostomia (Dry Mouth)

Xerostomia (Dry Mouth) is a persistant condition where a patient is unable to produce the quality and quantity of saliva necessary for oral health. This condition is often associated with medication use, diabetes, smoking, or poor overall health. If untreated, Xerostomia can lead to rampant tooth decay, tooth loss, ill-fitting denntures, and periodontal disease (bone loss). If you notice your mouth feels dry, have a qualified dentist evaluate your condition before irreversible damage occurs.
