5 Common Misconceptions About In Home Dental Care Debunked

Perhaps you’ve considered in-home dental care for yourself or a loved one but thought, “It just won’t work in our situation.” The dentists at In Motion Dentists are here to set the record straight.

Here are 5 common misconceptions about mobile dentistry that Inland Empire families often have—and the truth behind them:

1. In-Home Dental Care Can Only Occur in My Home

Many residents mistakenly believe that mobile dentists can only operate in a private home. That’s simply not true! In Motion Dentists frequently visit patients in nursing homes, care facilities, professional offices, or hotel rooms—especially for busy professionals traveling for work who suddenly have a dental emergency.

2. Mobile Dentists Can’t Provide Anesthetic or Sedation Options

When In Motion Dentists comes to you, they bring a full dental office, including anesthetics and sedation options. Comfort doesn’t need to be sacrificed for convenience. Many patients report that these in-home visits are the most comfortable dental experiences they’ve ever had.

3. My Home Doesn’t Have Enough Room for a Makeshift Dental Office

Some residents worry their homes are too small to accommodate dental chairs and equipment—especially if there are medical beds or assistive devices already in place.

In Motion Dentists’ team is highly experienced in working with limited spaces. Since all dental equipment fits into a small vehicle, they can set up a fully functional dental workspace in almost any home.

4. In-Home Dental Care Is Only for the Wealthy

Some people assume that mobile dentistry is only for business executives or Hollywood celebrities. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.

In Motion Dentists frequently provides second opinions and often charges less than traditional dental offices. Most of their patients are those with special needs who can’t leave home, live in care facilities, or are otherwise uncomfortable in a dental office. From autism to Alzheimer’s to physical disabilities, the team is passionate about providing excellent dental care to patients who need it most.

5. Our Dental Emergency Won’t Fit Into a Mobile Dentist’s Busy Schedule

You may think a busy mobile dentist can’t accommodate your emergency—but that’s not the case. In Motion Dentists often sees patients the same day, and almost always within 24 hours. Whether it’s a toothache, chipped tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, they will find a mutually convenient time to address your dental emergency promptly.
