What is mobile dentistry?

Mobile dentistry provides dental care for patients who cannot access a regular dental office or who want a more convenient option. Mobile dentists often serve residents in long-term care, skilled nursing, or assisted living facilities. As a mobile dentist, your job duties include traveling to homes or facilities, performing dental examinations and procedures, and inputting patient data and clinical documentation into the electronic health medical record. Qualifications for the career include a DDS or DMD dental degree and relevant internship and residency experience. Some mobile dentists may use their skills to practice mobile dentistry part-time while still maintaining a career in a regular dental practice.
