How Do Mobile Dentists Handle Uncooperative Patients?

Mobile Dentistry for Special Needs Patients in the Inland Empire

In Motion Dentists is a mobile dental practice with a deep passion for serving the Inland Empire’s special needs population. With extensive experience gained during dental school, post-graduate programs, and private practice, our dentists have found their true calling: providing dental care to patients who may be fearful, timid, or uncooperative during treatment. Everyone deserves proper dental care, and our doctors have received specialized training to ensure patients who might otherwise be turned away by general practice dentists receive the attention they need.

Establishing Trust

One of the most common questions caregivers ask is how a mobile dentist establishes trust with special needs patients. Through years of practice and ongoing education as members of the Special Care Dentistry Association, our dentists have mastered calming techniques to help patients feel at ease. Building trust is the foundation of every successful appointment, allowing dental procedures to proceed smoothly and comfortably.

Making Your Loved One Comfortable

While trained in oral sedation, our dentists prefer to avoid this unless necessary or requested. Instead, we focus on helping patients relax in their own environment. As mobile dentists, we bring all the necessary equipment—including a comfortable dental chair—directly to your loved one’s home or care facility.

We can set up the chair in a favorite room, near a television for distraction, or beside a caregiver who can offer reassurance. This personalized approach helps patients feel safe, supported, and comfortable during their dental visit.

Taking As Much Time as Needed

Special needs dental patients often require longer appointments to build trust and ensure comfort. At In Motion Dentists, we schedule ample time with each patient, allowing our dentists to work slowly and patiently. We understand that rushing is not an option; instead, we focus on creating a calm, relaxed environment where your loved one feels safe.
