Abstract
The aged population and the number of disabled people in Taiwan continue to increase. Dental treatment for patients with severe disabilities or more complicated oral conditions is usually handled in a specialized medical facility with special equipment. Home Dental Care is a dental service that reaches out to patients who cannot reach a dentist by themselves. It has been well established in Japan for more than 20 years. In Taiwan, however, it is not widespread. In this article, I will introduce the current status of Home Dental Care in Taiwan as well as how it is carried out.
