As a mobile dentist, you travel to remote locations to provide patient care and dental services for people who are unable to visit a traditional office or clinic. Your responsibilities include providing preventative care, such as cleanings and x-rays, as well as fillings, tooth extraction, denture fittings, root canals, and even oral surgery. Additionally, your duties include working with patients who have mental or physical impairments, visiting underserved and low-income populations, and caring for children whose parents are unable to take them to a traditional dental office. Finally, like any dentist, you help patients understand the importance of good oral hygiene and learn to take good care of their teeth.
