Why a mobile dental practice for older people?
Reduced oral health is a major problem in elderly care. 80% of older people suffer from complaints such as inflamed gums, cavities, toothache and nerve conditions. Complaints that also cause older people to eat less well, because chewing and swallowing are painful. In this way, poor teeth can be the catalyst for far greater health problems.
Despite these problems, it proves difficult for older people to visit a physical dentist nearby. And the care institutions that organize it internally struggle to find staff and to keep the practice up to date on limited budgets.
A mobile dental practice in a familiar environment, with specialists who know how to put older residents at ease, offers a fine solution for the residents themselves, for care institutions and for families.
Mobile. Flexible. Convenient.
A high-quality dental practice in a familiar environment
A mobile dental practice still makes a visit to the dentist possible for older people, in a low-threshold way. Acute complaints can be relieved, so that older people regain confidence in their oral health and can continue to take part in social activities and family visits. Something that relates directly to their quality of life.
Europe Medicare supports care institutions with:
- High-quality oral care in a familiar environment
- Experienced dentists and assistants with a strong affinity for elderly care
- A professional, up-to-date practice with a waiting room, treatment room and sterilization room

From first meeting to lasting partnership
Cost efficiency
Why choose to outsource the dentist?
Some care institutions have set up a dental practice internally and have an in-house dentist. Europe Medicare can be of interest to these institutions too. After all, outsourcing the dentist can deliver care institutions considerable cost savings. The costs of maintaining the practice and keeping it up to date disappear — costs that rise every year due to stricter laws and regulations — while the costs of the dental care itself are covered by health insurance or by the care office (Wet Langdurige Zorg, the Dutch Long-Term Care Act).
Social skills
Oral care that truly connects with older people
Providing dental care to older people calls for the right social skills to connect quickly. Knowing what the objections are, understanding that those objections can be persistent, and still being able to increase older people’s willingness to sit in the chair.
The specialists at Europe Medicare have a strong affinity with elderly care and master the art of keeping a first visit to the dentist as low-threshold as possible.
