The Clinical Standard of Mobile Dental Vans2 min read

Dentulu reaches out to people in the community and arrives at their doorsteps to deliver oral care services. The standard of treatment that is delivered in a mobile dental van is equal to the service provided at a brick and mortar clinic. However, many people have some concerns about getting service from a mobile treatment facility. Because, considering the van’s limited space, accommodating patients and doing their checkups might not seem comparable to a traditional brick and mortar clinic. To address this concern, Dentulu would like to provide some important first-hand information. Consider the following points when it comes to the clinical standard of a mobile dental van:

• Scope of the services provided
• Physical infrastructure
• Space
• Outside and inside signage
• Clinical infrastructure
• Human resources (dentists, technical staff)
• Dental equipment

When it comes to the scope of the service, Dentulu reaches out to those who book our mobile dentistry service through the Dentulu app. It is mandatory to be a registered member of the app in order to book mobile dentistry services. Once you book the service, our registered dentists will reach your location in a mobile dental van. This van carries one or two-unit chairs for dental examinations and prevention and treatment services.

Physical infrastructure is related to location. Generally, the practicability of reaching a patient’s place is taken into account because there are some places which are difficult to access due to their remoteness. However, we at Dentulu would like to ensure that we reach all the places regardless of location.

As far as space is concerned, Dentulu meets the following requirements in their mobile dental vans:

• Adequate treatment area
• Cab area
• Sterilization area
• Dedicated area for recording patient’s medical history

This indicates that there is hardly any difference between a mobile clinic and a brick and mortar clinic. For further clarification regarding dental service in a van, we have put signage regarding:

• Dental institute/service provider (Dentulu)
• The name of the dentist
• The name of the doctor
• Service provided
• Hours of treatment service

Our clinical infrastructure in a mobile van also contains the following:

• Dental chair
• Specialist fittings
• Facilities for hand-washing
• Dental cabinetry
• Medical gases
• Lighting
• Bin to put general waste and clinical waste

While delivering dental treatment, our dentists and staff strictly adhere to cleaning standards. We approach people in a mobile dental van with adequate human resources consisting of dental surgeons, dental operating room assistants, and non-technical staff.

Finally, our mobile dental clinic is equipped with all the equipment mandatory for providing treatment such as:

• Stethoscope
• Thermometer
• BP apparatus
• Glucometer
• Weight machine
• Emergency kit (oxygen cylinder, adrenaline, diphenhydramine, etc.)
• Defibrillator
• Consumables (face mask, glove, cotton role, gauze, etc.)
• Dental equipment (suction unit, autoclave, IOPA machine, etc.)

We hope that you are now knowledgeable about the basic information regarding the standard of care that we practice in a mobile dental van. For more information, you can interact with us by using the Dentulu app. We are ready to serve you through our mobile dentistry services, no matter where you are located.
