Dedicated to Senior Care
The need for oral health care does not cease once a person ages. Though moving into long-term care, mobility issues and mental health decline can limit a senior's ability to access dental services. Poor oral health places a person at higher medical risk, diminishes quality of life and may significantly increase their cost of care.
​
The focus of The Outreach Dental Program is to provide consistent and continuous dental care through education, oral assessments, personalized daily oral hygiene plans, clinical hygiene treatment and referral to our mobile dentist or denturist as required.

Highly experienced Hygienists
Our team of Registered Dental Hygienists has over 26 years of experience. We use a very gentle approach and understand that some days our clients may not feel up to treatment.
Experience-Driven and Heartfelt Care
What sets us apart in senior dental care is our deeply personal approach, shaped by our shared experiences. Trish, Glenna, and Brenda have all gained extensive experience and understanding of seniors with Alzheimer's by caring for their loved ones—parents and grandparents—currently living in senior communities. These experiences have taught us invaluable lessons in patience, empathy, and a keen awareness of the needs of residents in long-term and retirement homes. We take the time to listen, explain procedures, and provide personalized advice, ensuring every patient receives the best possible care to maintain their oral health and enhance their overall well-being. Our passion for providing excellent oral care drives us to make a positive impact on the lives of seniors.

Testimonials and Endorsements
Heather Legault
(Daughter of Helen, a patient)
Outreach Dental has been treating my Mother for over 5 years now. Trish is amazing when dealing with patients suffering with Dementia. Trish, was also willing and able to follow my mother over 75km when she was transferred from her initial seniors residence to her present Long Term Care Facility in Kemptville. Words cannot express my gratitude and comfort with Trish in her professional role as a Registered Dental Hygienist. Not only does Trish treat my Mother in a dignified manner but is patient, creative and sensitive in getting the job done. I cannot stress my appreciation for Trish and Outreach Dental. The team assists with not only making appointments but also coordinating the billing procedures with the insurance company directly. I strongly recommend Trish and Outreach Dental to anyone! They will leave you with one less thing to worry about!
