 Hello everybody Andrea Mayesca here with dental L mobile hygiene. So a lot of people ask me, you know When I first started the business Pretty much as soon as I started talking about it and started posting about it on social media People kind of said to me sounds awesome, but what is a mobile hygienist? Like what do you do and? To us who are in the dental fields. We know what that is We think it's pretty obvious, but it's clearly not right because almost every single person asked me Well, what is it? Like what do you do good for you for starting a business? But what does that mean? So what it means is that I can clean your teeth in your home So the nice thing is too is that I can pretty much go anywhere So I have what's what's called a portable mobile? Unit so think of when you get your teeth cleaned at the dental office They have you know air water. They have their trained with their instruments They have a suction they have, you know, they're just whole kind of mobile unit with a chair Well, I have the same thing, but it is portable and on a much smaller scale So it's not like this big to fill up a whole room It's you know, like this big, you know, and it's about 45 pounds So thankfully it's on wheels because I would not be able to live 45 pounds probably, you know in the car out of the car So thankfully it is on wheels, but my whole thing Comes to you and it's so much easier for me too because it's like I'm working in a dental office But in the comfort of your home or you can come to my home if you prefer and Have your teeth cleaned in my office. So that's totally up to you I do have three dogs. So you have to be a dog person. They stay out of my office anyway They're not allowed in but you would see them as you came to my home anyway And the nice thing is is that I like to go to nursing homes and clean their teeth because My grandparents have been in a nursing home now for about a year and my grandma on my dad's side So his mom she was in a nursing home. Oh my goodness for a very long time at least 10 years 15 years And the oral hygiene care just isn't what it should be because the nurses just simply don't have time to To brush twice a day, you know, that's part of their duties That's what they have to do But if the residents having a bad day and doesn't want them to come near them, you know There's other things that take priority such as making sure that they have food You know helping them to the washroom, you know things like that, right? So cleaning teeth likely isn't their first priority, but that's where I come in I can help because you know seniors still need their teeth cleaned They can live so much longer by having a nice healthy mouth because plaque harbors a lot of bacteria and seniors Get more plaque than anybody because of their lack of saliva because of the medications They're usually on causes a lack of saliva. So plaque just sticks, right? And you know a lot of people might be thinking and some people even say to me like well My grandma's like 86 does it does it really matter if her teeth are clean? Yes, it does because you can see it, you know her teeth or you know his teeth Whoever if there's a lot of plaque on it. It just doesn't look good That plaque is eating away through the enamel and could be causing pain And your loved one might not be able to tell you oh well something hurts here They might say something hurts, but they don't know where it's coming from It's probably from their teeth or inside the mouth so I can help with that and I Love it too because I am now able to offer. I can come to your home, you know the nursing home whatever per month So that if you can tell that you know oral hygiene isn't really up to par as much as you would like And you would like me to come in per month then I can easily do that too So then that way, I'm you know there. I'm I'm able to talk to your loved one too They love that so I'm just kind of like a Friend of yours and a friend of theirs coming in saying hey Well, you know since I'm here. How about I take a look inside your mouth? Clean your teeth polish them and they are so happy so so happy. So obviously if I'm coming per month to the The cleaning fee is much lower because I am able to do a little bit at a time Whereas if I'm coming say once a year there would be a lot there you guys a lot of plaque a lot of Tartar and it takes me longer it costs more money So it just makes sense for me to come in per month easier for you easier for them too because they they are able to see me Three they're able to get to know me know who I am and they even look forward to it I had some patients that fall asleep in the chair. So I take that as a compliment They must be really really comfortable if they can fall asleep in the chair So my job isn't always easy because as you can imagine if somebody falls asleep in the chair Not too many people can sleep with their mouth open. So I kind of gotta Work with this little tiny space, but it's always manageable. So that's what a mobile dental hygienist is Is I come to your house? I come to a nursing home I have everything that I possibly need to clean teeth and make the mouth as healthy as possible and you know I clean everybody's teeth, you know, it doesn't have to be Senior or a special needs patient. It could be a child. It could be an adult It could be somebody who doesn't want to take time off work It could be somebody who works from home who who who has meetings or you know Who works literally all day long for them to book time for themselves to go get their teeth clean Just isn't an option. So I can come to you and the best part is you don't have to wait I'm never behind because I make my own schedule I do not book patients back to Mac to make as much money as possible. No I book patients so that I'm not behind and then I don't keep you waiting and I can Send things off to the insurance. So even better. So I actually have a form for you to fill out send it to the Insurance and then insurance pays you back. So it's perfect So it does work for a lot of people. So that is what a dental hygienist a Mobile dental hygienist is I come to you making things so easy It's nice for the kids too because I am like as I said before I am like your friend coming in saying hey How's it going? I can clean the kids teeth. You can take a nap, you know You can do whatever you want to do away from the kids take a break and I do all the work So it's perfect and they love and they love it and there is always a Free a free to brush To paste and a toy for the kids to you can have a toy to if you want But you know, they're mainly for the kids. So there's all kinds of fun things If you guys have any questions, please let me know. I'm so happy to help and I service a London Kitchener Woodstock in St. Thomas area.
