When she was biting on a piece of cotton after the extraction, she was told that another dentist would be coming next week to add the missing tooth to her partial denture. There is no way I am going an entire week without a front tooth. My mother is in a nursing home, and I've been trying to get her to the dentist for over 10 years. She has many rotten teeth that need to be pulled, and she needs a set of new dentures. Most nursing home residents go for many years without dental care and have advanced dental problems.
Dental problems interfere with talking, eating, and being comfortable.
Apple Tree is here for nursing home residents and their families, providing on-site care so that frail elderly people can get the services they need. My sister is in a wheelchair, can't walk, and it's very difficult to take her out for doctor or dentists services. It will be much easier for both of us to have her dental work done at the nursing home. Sometimes travel arrangements to and from a nursing home to a dental office can cost more than the dental work itself. Apple Tree Dental is a new kind of dental practice that brings comprehensive dental care to nursing homes in the Twin Cities and in the Red River Region.
