Any house call dentists?

Thank for that web site, Lori, they don't service Westchester County, which seems odd, since they service all around this area.
I'm still looking for a visiting dentist for my Mom in the lower part of Westchester County, if anyone has any ideas.
Taking an ambulette into a Dr's office would be very stressful at this time.
We've had home x-rays that were quite civilized, and have found a wonderful visiting NP.
Thank you for any info anyone has!
Rita

Hi @ritapooh Home dentistry is an underserved field right now. I remember years ago, the dentist I worked for and I would occasionally make some calls to patients who were homebound. We had limited services we could render but at least we were able to help in some capacity in a pinch.

I’m just thinking a good resource for you to might be your county social services department. Maybe they know of some dentists who make house calls in your mom’s community. Have you tried Social Services?

Hi Rita. I’m in the same boat. Still searching for a dentist that makes house calls in lower Westchester. I’ve also found a doctor that comes to the house, but so far no dentist. If you find one, please let me know, and I will do the same.
