Denturist in Portland, OR Announces Her Service as a Provider for Exceptional Needs Dental Services
Portland, OR (PRWEB) July 22, 2015 -- Classic Denture Center just released a blog post about their involvement with Exceptional Needs Dental Services. They are proud to offer Portland, Oregon residents living in nursing homes, care facilities, and hospitals with mobile dental services.
You can find that blog about Exceptional Needs Dental Services here.
Exceptional Needs Dental Services (E.N.D.S.) began in 1995. At this time, the department of the state Medicaid program (OHP) introduced dental services that would be covered. E.N.D.S. developed a model where they could deliver dental care to those living in long-term care facilities, group homes, and foster homes.
The blog discusses the fact that the main patients who benefit from Exceptional Needs Dental Services are senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. Typically they are individuals who are unable to be treated in an office setting. These patients may suffer from one or a combination of the following medical conditions: schizophrenia, cerebral palsy, heart problems, mental retardation, alzheimer’s, dementia, anxiety, quadriplegia, cervical spine injury, anemia, and hypertension. A high number of the patients served by the E.N.D.S program are wheelchair bound.
This blog also explains the history of Exceptional Needs Dental Services, and how it has been operating for more than 17 years. Their current network boasts 29 providers including dentists, denturists, and expanded practice dental hygienists. The program benefits 2,500 patients living in 17 different counties in Oregon.
Typically, a visit by a Portland, OR provider who is a part of E.N.D.S. will include any of the following: exams, oral health assessments, cleanings, x-rays, extractions, and restorations. If the care cannot be completed at their facility, hospital-based dental services are available.
For Denturist Tanya Poleon to provide this Mobile hospital-based service, OHP members must meet the specific criteria and be referred by their participating dental care organization. The blog discusses that for Denturist Tanya Poleon to provide treatment, the referral must also include documentation of previously attempted office treatment. This will including radiographs, medical and dental history, a medical diagnosis, and treatment plan if available.
