Dental hygiene services in long-term care & retirement homes
Bringing complete dental hygiene care directly into long-term care and retirement homes, with no resident transport, no scheduling burden on your staff, and no disruption to daily routines.
Good oral health is important at every stage of life
Care comes to the resident: in their own chair, in a room they know, with the time and patience the visit deserves.
Need continues with age
The need for good oral health continues as a person ages, becomes chronically ill, or moves into a long-term care residence.
High rates of oral disease
Many older adults, especially those who rely on others for care, have poor oral hygiene and high rates of oral disease.
Pain and difficulty eating
Oral disease causes pain, discomfort, and difficulty chewing and swallowing, which affects nutrition and quality of life.
Links to wider health
Poor oral health is associated with heart and lung disease, diabetes, and stroke, making hygiene part of whole-body care.

Care that fits into your day, not around it
No transport required
Bringing all clinical equipment on-site, so residents never leave the building or their own room.
Minimal staff involvement
Coordination happens directly with residents and families where appropriate, keeping demands on your team light.
Dementia-informed care
Unhurried appointments with frequent breaks and familiar surroundings for residents living with cognitive decline.
Fewer downstream issues
Regular hygiene lowers the risk of pain, infection, and aspiration pneumonia linked to poor oral health.
Clear documentation
Written notes after every visit for your records, plus referrals to a dentist when further treatment is needed.
Flexible scheduling
Visits arranged around meals, activities, and care routines, including recurring monthly or quarterly rounds.
Billing handled resident by resident
Each resident is billed individually through their own coverage, whether NIHB, the Canadian Dental Care Plan, ODSP, or private insurance, with direct billing wherever possible. Your facility carries no administrative or financial burden, and families receive clear documentation for every visit.
How a partnership works
Every partnership starts with a conversation, not paperwork. Residents and families are included from the first visit, and your team stays informed at every step.
Introductory call
A short conversation about your residents, your routines, and what level of support would help most.
On-site assessment visit
An on-site walkthrough to review the space, meet your team, and assess which residents would benefit from care.
Consent and coverage
Consent and medical history are collected per resident, with each person’s insurance or government coverage confirmed in advance.
Ongoing visits
Care begins on an agreed schedule, with notes provided after each visit and adjustments as needs change.
