Frequently asked questions

CURIOUS to KNOW more?

Below you will find more information about mobile dental hygiene services and how it works:

How does a mobile clinic work?

  • Booking an appointment: You can schedule your visit by calling me or using my online booking system on this website.

  • The Appointment: On the day of your appointment, my fully equipped mobile clinic (mobile cart) will travel to your location (home, workplace, or care facility). After setting up and gathering a fully confidential medical history, consent for treatment and privacy policy, I will perform dental hygiene services. These include an oral assessment to develop a tailored dental hygiene treatment plan, oral hygiene education, scaling/ root planing, and an optional polish and/ or flouride treatment.

  • Personalized Care: After treatment, we will discuss your oral health and a future treatment plan for you to maintain a healthy smile. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

Who can benefit from a mobile dental hygiene clinc?

Literally, anyone! The most common being individuals with mobility or health issues where they can’t access a dental clinic. Although, people with dental anxiety, or who live rural and remotely, or even work a 9-5 job and just don’t have the time to get to a dental clinic have also scheduled cleanings!

What services do i offer?

  • Oral assessment-if you are unsure if you want a dental cleaning or what it includes for you, I am open to either a phone conversation or in-person meet and greet. At that time, I will assess your oral health to give you a predetermination of the dental hygiene treatment and any referrals to other health professionals you may require.

  • Dental hygiene cleaning-this is a regular dental cleaning. For every new person it includes a complete exam (medical history and overall health review, charting of oral health, oral hygiene education, scaling, and an optional polish and/ or fluoride treatment).

  • At-home whitening (or take home kits). I offer three different types of at-home professional whitening.

    1. The first (least costly) is a do-it-yourself take home kit that comes with trays and two whitening pens.

    2. The second is a tray with built in UV light (to accelerate whitening) and two whitening pens.

    3. The third is a professional in-home service where I apply teeth whitening for rapid best results.

      The whitening company is a Canadian company known for their amazing product that can be used for people specifically with tooth sensitivity!! Also, it is natural with no additives/ preservatives, cruelty free, gluten free, and vegan!

What areas do I serve?

Currently, I am located in Comox Valley. I am not opposed to traveling North/ South Vancouver Island. Also, I am open to traveling further if time allows it so please contact me!

Do you need to prepare anything before your appointment?

Before the hygiene appointment, it is important to help clear a space close to an outlet for the mobile hygiene equipment. Further, it is important to let me know of any dental anxiety or medical history concerns that I should be aware of to best serve you!

What are your payment options?

Offerings include: direct billing, acceptance of NHIB, CDCP, disability and other BC programs. Also, I accept in-person direct payment.

Are my services covered by insurance?

The dental hygiene services I provide are followed by the current BC Dental Fee Guide, which is recognized and covered by insurances.

If there is an additional service that I think would benefit you, I will treatment plan beforehand and discuss this option with you.

Cancellation policy

Everyone has things that come up, I get it!

I offer 1 free cancellation and after that I charge a $50 cancellation fee (less than 24hrs before the appointment).

What happens if there is an emergency during the visit?

I am CRP-C and First Aid trained. As well, I carry with me an advanced dental emergency AND first aid kit that includes anything required for a medical emergency.
