I would like to personally welcome you to our Outreach Dentistry web site. Please be sure to add our address, www.outreachdentistry.com to your favorites.

I have been practicing dentistry in Hamilton for four decades in the field of preventive, prosthodontics, restorative and geriatric dentistry. I am a member of the American Society of Geriatric Dentistry and I have lectured and written in the field of Geriatric Dentistry. I am presently Director of Dental Service at St. Peter's Hospital Seniors' Dental Clinic and have a private practice. Outreach Dentistry has operated a mobile dental clinic for ten years, bringing dental care to patients in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Our educational Dentistry & Oral Health Hand Book and Power Point CD ROM has been designed to provide continuing education for Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, Caregivers, Hygienists and Dental Nurses working in the field of Geriatric Oral Care and hospital settings.

Oral Health & the Elderly is a new Hand Book and Power Point CD-ROM released as a resource slide companion to the lecture. This lecture, Oral Health & the Elderly, describes the interface of Dentistry and Medicine. This educational material is easy to follow and can be used as a lecture or resource material in medical, nursing, and hygiene schools.

The link to Mobile Outreach will provide you with information about our Mobile Geriatric Dental Sevices.

Dentists and Public Health personnel are invited to visit our Consulting link, where we provide data and set-up information from our own experience setting up Mobile Dentistry in Nursing Homes.

We have also included Five published three Articles on the topic of Geriatric Dentistry.

It is our objective to foster an increased appreciation of our responsibility as health care professionals in the field of Oral Health. The maintenance of good oral health and the retention of teeth increases the quality of life for patients. The need for a greater emphasis on geriatric dental care in Canada is necessary.

We hope that you will enjoy and find the material informative.
