Access to dental care for individuals in need of care is often challenging. While 60% of nursing home residents are unable to visit a dentist, only 50% of facilities collaborate with partner dentists.
Urban areas are often oversupplied, while rural regions face shortages. Additionally, around half of all dentists are expected to retire by 2030.
Caregivers and family members struggle with a lack of expertise, uncertainty in assessing urgency, and transportation issues – leading to delays in treatment. The new expert standard further intensifies these challenges.
New solutions are needed: Our approach is tele-dentistry combined with hybrid care concepts.
