What Albertans Want to Know About Mobile Dental Hygiene

Dental health in Alberta is evolving. More people are opting for individualized, mobile services for expert care due to longer wait times, hectic schedules, and family members with limited mobility. However, before scheduling a visit with a mobile dental hygienist, this is what you should know before scheduling an appointment with a mobile dental hygienist

Patricia is breaking down the facts so you can make confident, informed decisions for your oral health.

  1. Is Mobile Dental Hygiene Legal and Regulated in Alberta?

Yes! Mobile dental hygiene is fully regulated under the College of Registered Dental Hygienists of Alberta (CRDHA). Patricia is certified, insured, and fully compliant. Her van is equipped with hospital-grade sterilization tools and follows strict protocols.

  1. What Types of Appointments Can I Book?
  • Adult and senior cleanings
  • Deep cleanings (scaling/root planing)
  • Fluoride and desensitizing treatments
  • In-home visits for people with mobility issues
  • Care in assisted living, long-term care, and palliative settings

 

3. What About Direct Billing and Insurance?

Yes, we offer direct billing to your insurance provider. That means no paperwork, no out-of-pocket upfront payments, and no confusion. Just book your visit and we’ll take care of the rest.

Do You Accept CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan)?
Absolutely. Patricia’s Mobile Dental Hygiene proudly accepts CDCP coverage and follows the official Government Fee Guide,  with no markups. Our pricing is transparent, fair, and exactly what the plan allows. Whether you qualify for CDCP or are just exploring your options, we’re happy to walk you through it.
