Tender Touch Oral Healthcare
We do not replace your visiting dentist, nor do we perform scaling or advanced clinical procedures. We bridge the gap by providing expert bedside care, focused entirely on bacterial eradication, dignity, and comfort.
When oral hygiene is neglected, harmful bacteria can build up on teeth, dentures, the tongue, and oral tissues. These bacteria can be aspirated into the lungs, contributing to respiratory infections such as aspiration pneumonia. Regular professional oral care, even once a week, has been proven to reduce this bacterial burden and support better health, comfort, and quality of life for vulnerable seniors.
Credentialed Experts
Your loved one’s care is delivered by a Registered Dental Hygienist who is a Certified Caregiver as well as a Certified Dementia Practitioner.
Clinical Efficacy
Studies show that just one professional oral healthcare (oral hygiene) session per week drastically reduces a senior’s risk of aspiration pneumonia.
Our Commitment to Safety
When we visit your loved one in their care community, we take every precaution to provide care that is safe and complies with current CDC infection-control guidelines. During each visit, we use personal protective equipment (PPE) which will include disposable gloves, a protective face mask, magnification loupes, a headlight, and a lab coat and/or scrubs.
We are fully up to date on all recommended vaccinations, and each product or therapy used during care is approved and safe to swallow when used as directed. Our goal is to give families confidence that their aging parent/loved-one is receiving attentive, professional care in a safe and comfortable manner.
