Dental home visits for the elderly and people in need of care

If you are unable to visit a dental practice due to personal restrictions, you can arrange a home visit.

Description

In order to improve dental care for elderly Munich residents or those in need of care, the City of Munich, in cooperation with the project organiser "Teamwerk - Dentistry for people in need of care and people with disabilities", has launched a dental home visit service. The spectrum ranges from prophylaxis to treatment for toothache, inflamed gums or loose dentures.

Requirements

Home visits by dentists can be offered if a visit to the practice is not possible or only possible with great effort due to personal restrictions.

In addition, at least one of the following criteria must be met

  • Classification in a care degree according to §15 SGB XI
  • Integration assistance according to §99 SGB IX

When requesting a dental visit, Teamwerk asks whether the requirements are met.

Duration and costs

Fees

The service is billed to the health insurance company within the statutory framework. There are no extra costs for the visit.
