People with long-term and progressive medical conditions, mental illness or dementia, and increasing frailty cannot always travel to a dentist.

Furthermore, many old and infirm people retain their teeth for much longer; therefore, the range and complexity of oral/dental problems are greater than before. Many people may also have mobility or other problems which severely limit their ability to present themselves at a dental surgery.

For some people, access to oral healthcare treatments is achievable only through the provision of domiciliary oral healthcare. Merrow Park Dental Practice provide domiciliary care that reaches out to patients who cannot access our treatments by themselves for reasons of disabilities.

• We deliver care to these patients in the safest and most effective way.
• The aim is to ensure patients receive timely, evidence-based dental care and preventative advice.
• To provide oral health care treatments to address patients’ needs, taking into account their personal circumstances and their wishes, consistent with the most appropriate use of resources.

Our dental team have special knowledge and skills to deliver care to these patients in the safest and most effective way.
