Overview

Mobile dentistry is revolutionizing dental care in America by increasing access for all populations, not just the underserved populations.  Beyond access, mobile dentistry is reshaping the patient experience and emphasizing preventive care. By reaching patients directly in their own environments, these models foster early intervention and education, which are crucial for preventing severe dental issues. Mobile dental services also improve community health by creating personalized connections between providers and patients, allowing for a more individualized approach. This course talks about the positive spread of mobile dentistry as it is transforming the landscape of dental care in America, leading to healthier communities and a reduction in oral health disparities.

Learning objectives

 - Learn about the different models of mobile dentistry.
