Hi

I've never heard of a denitist doing home visits but I do know you can buy temporary home repair kits at chemists as a friend of mine performed a temporary filling with said kit the other week.

Hi Mum

I hate to say this but you are lucky to get a dentist appt full stop these days!!!!

Dentists couldent do home vivits cos they need too much equipment etc

Have a look on the forum there is lots of dental info there

There is an organisation called the Community Dental Service that caters for housebound people, I don't know how you go about getting appointments but if you look them up in your area I am sure you could find out more.

I have always worked in homes for the elderly and I know we have had home visits from dentists before.

Hope this helps
