Regular dental care is essential at every stage of life, but for many seniors and individuals with health or mobility challenges, getting to the dentist can be a serious barrier. That’s where we come in.
1. Don’t Delay Dental Care—Make Transportation Part of the Plan
Oral health is directly linked to overall health. Missed dental appointments can lead to worsening issues like infections, tooth loss, and even heart problems. That’s why it’s crucial to schedule visits regularly—and make reliable transportation part of that plan from the start.
When you book a ride with us, we help coordinate travel times around your loved one’s appointment and ensure they arrive on time, every time.
2. Know What Kind of Dental Appointment It Is
Some dental visits may be quick and simple, while others might involve sedation or longer procedures. Knowing what to expect can help you plan the return trip properly.
We offer wait-and-return options, so your loved one isn’t left waiting after an appointment. Plus, if sedation is involved, we ensure they get home safely under the care of a trained driver.
3. Choose a Safe and Senior-Friendly Ride Option
For older adults, public transportation or ride-share services may not always be comfortable or safe. Our medical transportation service is different:
Your peace of mind matters—especially when your parent or loved one is traveling alone.
4. Confirm Details in Advance
We recommend having these ready before the appointment:
Let us know the details and we’ll handle the rest—no guesswork, no stress.
5. Aftercare Matters—Plan Ahead for Recovery Needs
Dental procedures, especially extractions or oral surgeries, may leave your loved one tired, uncomfortable, or in need of support. If you can’t be there yourself, we’ll ensure they’re dropped off safely and help them get settled at home if needed.
