 Hello everyone welcome back to a new session on dentistry ammo So today's topic is mobile dental clinic. We know mobile dental clinic is present in almost all the dental colleges associated with Department of Public Health Dentistry Now we have seen that these mobile clinics will be going to rural areas and the community areas or the orphanages and the schools where it conducts camps this mobile dental wands will be equipped with two dental trays mostly with few of seating capacity with a tank overhead a wash area for cleaning utensils and for the doctors and other supporting staff there will be a generator for power supply and this mobile dental clinic was very vital in serving the rural parts of our state or country so let's see what is mobile dental clinic so mobile clinic is used primarily when oral health care is to be delivered to small pockets of patients that are scattered over specific geographic area because there are many sectors of our population that are having problem with accessibility affordability of a dental care or a dental clinic so the public health dental public health personnel should always think about these scattered people and always reach to their point on their doorstep and provide treatment so the mobile clinic is generally parked at a facility such as school residential facility or a community center so always retirement population are low-income individuals or families or isolated or very rural population people who are bedridden migrants and seasonal workers so as i told you dental clinic should be equipped with two dental trays with attachments and seating capacity for 15 to 20 people so when we while we are doing treatment the remaining people can be seated inside the equipments to be fitted inside includes dental chair operating light extra unit autoclave glass bead sterilizer metal cabinet with wash basin portable dental unit stabilizer generator water tank oxygen cylinder public addressing system tv and dvd player and health education models so let's see what are the advantages so it can serve many large people of large society large section of the society with their moderate startup cost due to address the problem of transportation to the clinics services are made available to the needy and at multiple sites but the disadvantages is high maintenance cost and difficult to access and store patient record difficult during monsoon and recover mission from the site use so even though there are many limitations it is very much important to serve the community as far as the dental public health person is concerned serving community is only way we can reduce the burden of oral health diseases in our country because only people with good access and good affordability will visit a dental clinic the rest of the people the marginalized the underprivileged and low socioeconomic strata people will not go to a dentist because of the affordability so their negligence will cause their oral health so to address these issues mobile dental clinic will be a big changing factor so that's all about mobile dental clinic i will come up with a new session on the dentist channel thank you
