Having reviewed the benefits for the School Based Dental Programs, let us consider the actual creation process for such a service to fill the needs of School Children discussed above.

The fundamental target for such a program should be to provide a full range of dental procedures which includes examinations, diagnostics, preventive and therapeutic services.

The program monitoring system will ensure the success of the plan and depicts status of the intermediate goals.

Mobile Dental Care Service in Rural Areas

By | Date posted: | Last updated: June 1, 2023
Mobile-Dental-Care

Dental disease is a critical health issue globally, especially in the rural & underserved areas. Oral cancer & periodontal diseases are widespread. India has more than 275 dental colleges producing 25,000 graduates each year to service over one billion people. But, the utilization of Dental Care facilities in urban India is low compared to North America. It is even lower in rural India. This is true for most rural areas globally. There is no single solution when you consider the rural geographical areas globally. This crisis in the rural populations is due to fewer dentists and lower dental care utilization causing increased rates of dental issues like tooth loss. This in turn will develop patient loss of confidence, facial appearance issues and further deterioration of teeth in the absence of more expensive prosthesis service. Even in the U.S.A 60% of the rural Counties have insufficient dental professionals available.

The probability of adults living in Rural Areas visiting dentists compared to a medical professional is miniscule. Since dental diseases cause the medical problems, it makes sense that the dental services should be made available as part of the medical service in the rural and underserved areas. This way the same dental and medical services should be available to children, which in turn should help them grow up with less dental and medical issues.

Considerations for practitioners in underserved areas are access to care, financial limitations, dental fear, transportation and other structural issues which will vary globally. Dental professionals in the rural areas should be familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the individuals in their specific geographical regions. The dental health program in these rural communities should incorporate education regarding dental care and the correlation to the physical health. Oral infections and diseases affect a person’s entire body, not just their mouth, especially when the immune system is already down from lack of routine medical checkups. Death tolls are high from treatable conditions. Financial issues also prevent them to secure dental service even if it was available. Food will take priority over dental service. The basics like toothbrushes and toothpastes can contribute to better dental health and related medical health.

Many underserved areas may already have a Medical Services available and adding Dental Services will complement the overall effort of the providers. Integrated services may be more effective to achieve the desired health benefits.

Before creating a Dental/medical services in a particular rural geographical area, examine the barriers that keep rural residents from wanting this help. Once these barriers are determined the solutions can be worked out for the overall success of the program.

Rural area residents will not be receiving preventive dental care which could necessitate more expensive dental care, such as prosthesis, extractions, and periodontal help. Preventive dental visits help in early detection and treatment of Oral Diseases.

Dental patients in the rural & urban areas go to dentists only when they have pain and don’t return for the follow up. Patients should be made aware of the various dental diseases, causes, and solutions. Adequate knowledge is the key.

Commonly required dental services in the rural areas are fillings, extractions and dental prosthesis. Dental Service utilization among adults is low, problem driven, and influenced by socioeconomic factors. Early diagnosis and associated treatment plus preventive measure should be paramount when planning for the rural area dental program.

Mobile Dental Office For Sale Or Rent

By | Date posted: | Last updated: June 1, 2023

The Mobile Dental Offices are available in several configurations such as Mobile Vans, Dental Coaches, Dental Trailers, Mobile Health Clinic, and the Mobile Units created by modifying the Shipping Containers 20’, 40’, 45’. The following script deals with THINKING OUT OF THE BOX when you first consider to start your new Dental Practice. Here are some of the options:

  • You can follow the conventional immovable Dental Office architectural design concept.
  • You can follow the Ergonomically designed immovable Dental Office structure & Ergonomic dental equipment concept.
  • You can consider a Mobile Dental/Medical Coach, Trailer or modified Shipping Container.

We are all creatures of habit because it gives us a false sense of stability and security. For example, all the McDonalds restaurants and Embassy Suite Hotels have their own unique and same architectural structure all over the Country. Somehow we feel comforted by this familiarity across the nation.

Dental Professionals also follow this norm and create their immovable Dental Clinics that look similar to the ones you will see all across the Nation. Many times even the names of their clinics are same.

There are those Dental Professionals who innovate and don’t follow this norm and create a novel expensive Clinic to emotionally benefit from this differentiation. There are times when you may want to do this.

Dr. Brad Hylan has created a radically new dental office design concept and Ergonomic CLEVEDENT WORKSTATIONS with Inventory management system. He utilizes this system in his office in Cleveland, Ohio. He has improved the workflow and financial growth many fold. Then why some new dental professionals looked at his concept with much trepidation? When we do OUT OF BOX thinking we are also out of our Comfort Zone. I have spent a substantial amount of time with Dental Professionals wanting to do their new dental office. They all praised and were impressed with Dr. Hylan’s dental office design, CLEVEDENT WORKSTATIONS and Inventory Control Management System. They were convinced that they wanted to replicate Dr. Hylan’s office. Dr. Hylan type office design would take less square feet space to do a six treatment room office compared to the conventional design. In spite of the overall financial benefits associated with the total package many dental professionals reverted to the conventional office design and conventional dental equipment. We all prefer to stay in our comfort zone!

Some Dental Professionals even move away from the concept of the immovable dental clinic to the Mobile Units where they visit the Patients instead of the Patients coming to the Dental Office.

Are you in the market to buy or rent your VIP Mobile Clinic/Office?
We have consolidated a concept of Ergonomic Dental Office Space design with Ergonomic CLEVEDENT WORKSTATIONS and the Inventory Control Management System. Have you ever been told by your assistant first thing in the morning that you were out of Lidocaine Anesthetics and F.G.#557 Carbide Burs that you need for the first patient of the day? The Dr. Hylan Inventory Management System virtually eliminates this possibility.

Before you buy your VIP Dental Clinic, it is important for you to know the fundamentals of the Mobile Units. They come in various models, Dental Coaches, Semi Trucks, Mobile Dental Trailers and Shipping Containers. Other factors such as durability, maneuverability, longevity, HEPA considerations are equally important.

The following highlights will enlighten you about the Dental/Medical Mobile Unit manufacturing considerations.

  • The manufacturing process is precise and the end product is subjected to extensive tests.
  • The entry doors have to pass several military rain tests to make sure the Mobile Units don’t leak.
  • The Mobile Units are subject to the General Electric shock & vibration tests, as well as environmental tests from 20 degrees F to 120 degrees F maintaining the temperature inside the Unit.
  • Body skirting & storage doors are built with 3/16” thick commercial No RUST Fiberglass Gelcoat lasting up to Fifty Years.
  • Floor is one piece ½” Fiberglass reinforced Plywood with Fiberglass Gelcoat, BOTH SIDES with seams and sealed all around the perimeters to resist rot and rust from the inside or outside.
  • Our Engineering & Technical Assembly staff team plays a pivotal role to create WORLD CLASS PRODUCT with your specifications and requirements.
  • Our World class VIP Dental/Medical Clinics can bring Healthcare to South Africa countryside and in a major USA or Canadian Metropolis. The patients don’t have to walk Kilometers to reach the nearest clinic. On a Baby Mobile Unit women can learn pregnancy status or have an ultrasound along with diabetes & blood pressure tests.
  • The new technology such as Solar Panels can be utilized to allow the Mobile Vans/Trailers to operate 24 hours.

A fully equipped VIP Mobile Unit cost fraction of the cost of fitting & equipping an immovable Dental Clinic structure. The IRS allows 5 year depreciation schedule vs. 30 years for the building. IRS section 179 deduction increases the tax benefits for the Mobile Dental Clinic.

Medical Modalities offered in a mobile or transportable venue are:
a) Dental
b) Health Screening
