For many disabled people who are inconvenient to move and stay in bed for a long time, the oral cavity is often the most easily overlooked nursing part, which leads to oral diseases of disabled people, in addition to the original diseases, even invading the lower respiratory tract and causing pneumonia when the condition is serious! Fortunately, there are resident dentists who can help disabled people take care of their oral health.
The dentist's visit to your home is "heavy and far"
Fan Gangxin, director of the Department of Stomatology at Enzhuren Hospital, said that a 56-year-old man was bedridden because he fell from a height at work. Before the injury, he chewed betel nut and periodontal disease, and his whole mouth could hardly be used any more. He gradually removed the residual roots in his mouth, made a complete denture and taught his family how to take care of oral health.
In addition to taking good care of patients' oral health, resident dentists will also assist families in need of financial support to apply for the "New Taipei City Health Bureau's oral diagnosis and treatment subsidy program for patients with mental and physical disabilities", so that patients can get the best oral care and rebuild their quality of life.
